About Gmail translation

Google in its blog post, announced the new Gmail translation feature for the mobile app. It will allow users to access about 100 native languages through their mobile phones. It will allow users to communicate easily in different languages.

Google shared a demo of the feature through a small video to help users understand it better. For translating messages on mobile, users need to click "Translate" on the removable banner and then they can choose the preferred language.

Google mentions that this feature was highly requested by the users and they have made their wish come true by introducing the translation feature to the Gmail app.

Users will also be able to turn off the feature by going to settings and select “Don’t translate [language] again”. This setting will remove the banner from the email.

Availability of Gmail translation feature

For Android users, translations in Gmail will start to roll out today, August 8. For iOS users, it will be available in a few weeks. The feature will be available for all Google Workspace users who have personal Google accounts.

How to use the Gmail translate feature on your smartphone:

• To translate a message, click the “Translate” option at the top of your email.
• If you dismiss the translation option, the option will appear again the next time the content language of an email doesn't match the set “Google.com Mail display language”.
• You can also turn off this setting, which never shows the banner again for a specific language, by accepting the prompt (“Don’t translate [language] again”) that appears when you dismiss the banner, or by selecting "Don't translate [language] again" from the translation settings menu.
• If a user has explicitly opt-ed out of translation (as stated above) or the system did not detect another language, you can manually translate a message through the three dot menu.
