Google adds 13 different languages to GMail Interface

While Google just entered the local searching market through its SMS based searching capabilities, it also somewhere down the line added support for 13 different languages for their GMail Webmail Services. As a result, the GMail interface now supports 13 languages. Unfortunately, the list still ignores Hindi for maybe logistically complicated reasons.

The Google’s new feature page gives out instructions on how to change the relevant setting in the backend. There is a new language option added in the settings providing this enhanced functionality. The newly supported languages are Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and UK English.

The language selection however does not change the way messages are sent and received. There is another warning from the search engine giant. Some of the functionalities available in the English version are not made available from other language selections. They are still working on perfecting this transformation and adding more languages. And knowing Google, support for the rarest of languages might not be far off!
