Gmail adds text translation

The Google Gmail email service introduced a new functionality that allows users to translate text and that has reached the version for mobile devices, that is, for iOS and Android terminals.

The company recalled that “for years” users were able to translate these messages into more than 100 languages in the web version of its service, something their mobile applications needed to allow them to “communicate without problems.”

To translate a message on a ‘smartphone’, the Gmail application will detect that it is a different language and will offer the ‘Translate’ button at the top of the message, under the sender, with a Settings button to choose the language wanted.

Google has also said that you can choose to have Gmail always translate content into a specific language or never. However, you can proceed with this translation through the three-point menu, located to the right of the text.

Also, if the translation option is turned off, it will reappear the next time the content language of an email doesn’t match the Google Mail display language.

Gmail translation for mobile will be available to all Google Workspace customers and personal Google accounts, and has been rolled out to Android gradually. In iOS, it will be deployed from August 21.
