PTI | May 3, 2012



Gmail users will now be able to translate e-mails in foreign languages into the their own, with Google introducing a new feature.

Google on its official Blog has said a new 'Translate message' header will be soon introduced in Gmail.

"Over the next few days, everyone who uses Gmail will be getting the convenience of translation added to their email.

The next time you receive a message in a language other than your own, just click on Translate message in the header at the top of the message," Jeff Chin, Product Manager, Google Translate, said.

The idea mooted after Google introduced automatic message translation in Gmail Labs and prompted the labs team to go for a survey in which the teams found the necessity of Gmail message translation.

"Since message translation was one of the most popular labs, we decided it was time to graduate from Gmail Labs and move into the real world. Over the next few days, everyone who uses Gmail will be getting the convenience of translation added to their email," Chin added.

The feature also automatic translation feature.

Google had recently announced that it is increasing everyone's free storage in Gmail from 7.5 GB to 10 GB.
