GMail never stops innovating, does it? The latest addition to the never-ending list of innovations in GMail Labs is Translation. And what is it? Once enabled in the Labs Settings, this will enable users to translate mails in the inbox to the language of usage. Say e.g. you got a mail from a friend who wrote it in French. Enabling this Lab Setting, will show a link titled: Translate message to: English. This will happen if the users setting is English. The default translation language settings can be changed in the Setting Tab. Google has already rolled out this feature and it works like a charm.
Although, I would like to see features available in the Translate page of Google; i.e. features like translate the message in multiple languages. Just for fun. I know that has not much of a business sense, or does it not?
Further innovations on GMail could very much work on the lines of how Google handles translated web pages.Based upon your default language settings, if a mail is sent to you in a different language, the inbox could automatically translate your message in your default language with a Disclaimer stating: This is an automated translation of your Mail which was written in Language A.
