Gmail is making it easier for colleagues who speak different languages to interact. This is because the email service of Google has implemented a function that allows to translate incoming messages eliminating the need to search for an external translator for this function. Before, in fact, if we wanted to do it from Android i from iOS, it wouldn't have been possible without opening the app dedicated to translation. Now no longer. Let's see in detail how Gmail translates emails.
Gmail has integrated a feature that translates emails: if it is written to us in another language, on Android and iOS we can translate it
As soon as the user receives a new email in a language that is not his native language, the platform will display a small banner below the sender contact. That way, just click on that region for the service to automatically translate the text. In other words, the feature works very similar to what you see in Google Chrome when accessing websites in foreign languages. Similarly, the user can choose to review the original text, as well as define whether the translation will always be done automatically or not.

Another important detail is that this banner will always appear suggesting the translation of the content into the person's preferred language. However, you can go to your Gmail settings and disable this feature or simply click "don't translate". Also, you can force the translation if the platform fails the first time.
The Gmail tool that translates emails is available to all Gmail customers Workspace and cannot be applied to messages for IMAP accounts. Also, the version The app's Android will gradually receive the feature starting this week, for 15 days. The same period applies to the iOS version, but you will only start receiving the option gradually from August 21st.
Google is working massively on accessibility in its applications and services. This marks a further step forward which will allow shorten the distance (those imposed by language barriers) among professionals and not only.
