Now, Gmail
will translate the message in other languages other than your own.
Users will need to click on Translate button in the header to see the
translated version of the message. Google has also made it possible to
reply to e-mails in the sender's native language. It's notable that the
feature has been available in Gmail Labs since 2009. Jeff Chin, product
manager for Google Translate, revealed automatic message translation is one of the most popular labs features.
"We heard immediately from Google Apps
for Business users that this was a killer feature for working with local
teams across the world," Chin wrote in a blog post.
"Some people just wanted to easily read newsletters from abroad.
Another person wrote in telling us how he set up his mom's Gmail to
translate everything into her native language, thus saving countless
explanatory phone calls (he thanked us profusely)."
Just in case if you do not want the
translate feature, all you need to do is click the turn off button. To
make the translate feature permanent, users will need to click always
translate button.
Moreover, Google
has rolled out two new Gmail labs features - title tweaks and smart
mute. Title tweak enables users to make changes in the text in the
browser tab. For example, the display will appear "Inbox (20)," instead
of "Gmail - Inbox (20)."
Smart Mute keeps email threads stay out of your inbox. You can learn more about muting email threads in the help center.
In addition to graduating these three
labs, Google will also be removing less popular labs over the next few
days: Old Snakey, Mail Goggles, Mouse Gestures, Hide Unread Counts, Move
Icon Column, Inbox Preview, Custom Date Formats and SMS in Chat gadget.
