This native translation integration has been highly requested and aims to enhance communication across languages.
To use this feature, users can select “Translate” on a banner that appears when the content language of a message is different from their Gmail display language. They can then choose their preferred language for translation.
This update brings the existing web-based translation feature to the Gmail mobile app for both Android and iOS users. It offers access to approximately 100 native languages, making it easier for users to read and understand conversations in different languages.
Users also have the option to customize the translation feature according to their preferences. They can choose to have Gmail automatically translate messages or never translate specific languages. This feature can be managed in the settings.
