Change Language Interface in Gmail

Spanish, Bahasa, French, Chinese, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and even my native language Filipino! Amazing. I guess the trend nowadays of major websites is to reach the non-English users.

We recently heard of social networking sites translating their websites to different languages, and now we have Google starting to roll out a new version of Gmail in an entirely new code base. This was really a big surprise since I haven’t checked the feeds in my Google Reader for days, and this new version coming of Gmail, starting with these languages has been sitting inside my Gmail for a week now.

I immediately went to settings by clicking the settings link at the upper right corner of Gmail And in the Settings page I saw there all 37 languages in the language section. (But I counted 43, maybe because of different language versions)

Although I can understand English, I changed my Gmail language display to Filipino and was amused. Maybe I was just proud to read Gmail’s display in my native language.
