Google Gmail now has Message Translation powered by Google Translation
Google has finally added the much needed language translation feature in Gmail.
This new feature named Message Translation has been added through the Google Gmail Labs section.
It uses the Google’s own automatic translation technology to translate the message in various languages to the primary language preferred by the user.
This technology has already been implemented in other Google services like YouTube, Google Reader.
This feature can come handy for people who communicate with team members living in other parts of the world. Or it could help you decipher that email from an online friend living in some exotic country!

That’s a good thing to do, yet the main problem I and my friends have with Gmail is that we can’t use it much at all, the reason being there’s no facility to create folders is there or have I missed something?
So it’s pretty useless, as having everything on one page would take you near enough forever to locate it in a busy e-mail box.

the beauty of gmail is in using labels instead of folders.
you just have to move a mail to a label and it works just like folders.
the only difference is that an email can have more than one label. while in other services an email cannot exist in more than one folders.

Thanks Ed for the info as to G-Mail. I sent several test e-mails into G-Mail and started creating labels, one was Accounts and one other.
Next I moved my test transmissions into the appropriate label / Directory that was fine. Yet the two messages remained in my in-box also. Next I deleted them from my inbox into trashcan only to find the two test e-mails in the labels / Directories had disappeared from my new filing cabinet.
This new system of labels isn’t working at all for me, so perhaps it me, yet others find it difficlt to use as well.

ok here is the thing.
google has made it very easy for users to get used to labels.
what you need to do is to move the mails to labels.
that would hide them from the inbox.
or you can assign labels to email messages and then archive them.
the basic rule is…. delete a mail and it gets deleted. you cannot make copies of emails.

Labels verses Folders / directories you decide or time will prove otherwise.
Since Microsoft introduced folders and the easy to use Windows 95 desktop the World has changed for the better making it possible for those with minimal knowledge of IT perform what was a very difficult task.
Almost everyone has become used to this system so here is the danger of ‘Google Mail labels’.
Image you are running a very busy office and some of your employees start to use labels as opposed to directories. In comes some major contracts pending approval so they are assigned to Google Mail labels. All of the incoming contacts are transferred into the labelling system and all looks ok, now the user deletes the contracts from the inbox all looks ok, then a few days later the boss says where are those contracts pending in here say’s the operator. Referring to the new labelling system wow where are they? – Panic, panic, all contracts were placed in the trashcan after deleting the originals from the inbox.
This is a situation that will arise sooner or later.
Yes I know Google are very kind to give all G-mail users such a lot of user capacity. In theory this may not occur, although in practice it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Gmail has been around for like 4-5 years now. Anyone who has been on Gmail for even a couple of years know that you only delete an email if you really want it deleted. No copies are made.
I guess blogging has made it easier for me to understand the concept of labels. We use tags for blog posts. And that is exactly how Gmail Labels work.
