Here is another welcome new Gmail Labs feature: “Message translation“.

Activate it in the settings of your Gmail account and you will able to translate the message to your own language.

Once enabled the feature, a translation option will appear when you read messages. You will also able to change the language to translate to, choosing the “Change language” link.

Here is an italian text message…

… and here is its translation.

The new feature will also add new choices in the “Language” section of the “General” pane of your Gmail “Settings”. From here you will able e.g. to select a different language to translate to and to enable transliteration.

This is a handy tool, and I look forward to translate all the strange spam messages I receive to see what they are offering :-)
