31 March, 2009

If you couldn’t send an email to the person because s/he doesn’t know the English language, google has come up to help you.

Google has rolled out the new feature that facilitates to type emails in Indian languages. If you are based in India, this feature is already enabled by default. If it’s not, Go to the “Language” section under the “Settings” tab.

When you compose a new mail in Gmail, you can see an icon in an Indian language as per the screenshot. You can simply the words they sound in English and it will be automatically converted to the equivalent Indian language. Currently Gmail supports the five Indian languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

As mentioned by the Google India Blog, this transliteration feature will also be available on Google India Labs, Orkut, Blogger and iGoogle. This feature is valuable to those who prefer to communicate in their native language.

Apart from this, the Gmail display is now available with many different languages. To change your display language, Go to the “Language” section under the “Settings” tab and change to your desired display language and save the changes. Once done, your Gmail interface will appear in the language you selected. Gmail’s display language won’t affect the language in which your emails are sent and received.

The following display languages are currently available in Gmail:

Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Norwegian, Oriya, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, UK English, US English, Ukrainian, or Vietnamese.
