FULL STORY
======================================================================

I woke up this morning with a good feeling. I thought gosh, its been a while 
since weve heard from Google, I bet they have something brilliant up their 
sleeves. 

Googles e-mail client on mobile now offers translation , so thats what I get 
for my optimism. 

You have already been able to do this on web-based Gmail for many moons, and 
although this is practical, its not special, and, as ever with a tech 
company, we should ask: why did it take this long? Gmail mobile translation 

In its Workspace Updates Blog , the company outlined how users will now be 
able to see translation across Android devices. 

"For years, our users have conveniently translated emails in Gmail on the web 
to over 100 languages," it rather grandly states. "Starting today, were 
excited to announce a native translation integration within the Gmail mobile 
app that will enable you to seamlessly communicate in a wide range of 
languages." 

To translate a message, users simply need to click the Translate option at 
the top of your email. If you choose not to select this, it will appear again 
the next time the content language of an email doesn't match the set 
Google.com Mail display language. Read more 

 > Gmail is making a small change that could have serious consequences 

 > Your Gmail account is set to be invaded by even more annoying ads 

 > Watch out, Google might delete your old Gmail account if you arent careful 

This highly requested feature will help users read and understand a 
conversation in any language, the company added. 

We can split hairs over why Google dragged their feet over a highly requested 
feature all day, but Im more interested in why they feel they need to define 
translation in this gather round the phonograph way. 

A new dismissible banner appears when the content language of a message is 
different from the Google.com Mail display language in your account settings. 
You can also choose to have Gmail always translate or never translate 
specific languages, read the additional details. Weve also rounded up the
