Gmail Mobile App Now Has Native Translation
According to the Google Workspace Updates blog, Google has introduced a native translation feature integrated into the Gmail mobile apps. Earlier, the language translation feature was only available on the web version of Gmail and was able to translate emails into over 100 languages.
Gmail app users on both Android and iOS devices can now natively translate email messages into a wide range of languages for better communication.
You can also configure Gmail to always translate specific languages and never to translate specific languages.
How to Use Native Translation in the Gmail App
You can use the native translation feature in your Gmail mobile app in a couple of ways. If you receive an email that has content other than the set email display language, the Translate banner option will appear automatically on top of the email.
Tap on the Translate option and select your preferred language. The translated version of the email will be displayed.
In case the feature does not detect another language automatically, you can manually translate the email by tapping on the three-dot menu on the right and selecting the Translate message option.
If you want to translate the email into another language, tap on the Settings icon at the top right end of the banner and select your preferred language. Also, if you have dismissed the Translate banner, the option will reappear each time the email content language does not match the set display language.
Enjoy Your Emails on the Gmail App in Your Preferred Language
The latest Gmail mobile app native translation feature paves the path for smoother cross-lingual communication with over 100 language options. It will allow you to have a more personalized experience on the Gmail app as you can read and understand your translated emails in a preferred language on the go.
It is especially beneficial for Gmail app users who need to interact with people from different nations so that they can understand emails in their native language and communicate more effectively.
Additionally, if you want a translation capability on any mobile device, the Google Translate app lets you instantly translate text on both Android and iOS mobile devices.
