Google to Launch Translating Service for Gmail on its Fifth Birthday
Guess what Google is planning to offer its customers on its fifth Birthday? Google is planning to roll out translation service that will help you translate your personal email messages on the go. Just consider the advantages that it can offer you, it will be extremely beneficial if you have a lot of foreign friends.
Interacting with your foreign friends will become a lot easier and much more fun. Gone are those days, when you had to visit the translating services, such as Google translations and Babel Fish, but with this new service you can translate and read email messages right from your Gmail inbox!
We have already seen a similar type of translating service offered by MSN, using a smart translator Bot named TBot, which helps you translate while chatting.
First reported by PCWorld, Google will look at the impact of cloud computing on how people manage their daily tasks, review Gmail’s evolution to date and announce the next step in its progression. Google has also implemented translating features in Google Reader, Google Maps, Picasa Web Album and YouTube. However, translation on Gmail will be real time that uses Ajax and also works on SSL based web pages.
Here is a snap shot of what that feature will look,

Share your views about this new feature.

Unless they’re going to make actual improvements to Google Translate, I think this feature is silly.
If you have a lot of foreign friends who speak languages you don’t have a translating service bookmarked, well, you’re not so bright.
I just can’t see this saving too much time at all.
We’ll just have to wait till this feature is rolled out. Hopefully, we’ll see some improvement in it.
