How to Change Language in GMAIL on Desktop and Mobile.
Gmail (short for Google Mail) is a Google service that allows users to send and receive e-mail over the Internet for free. It provides consumers with a gigabyte of message storage and the ability to search for specific communications.
As one of the most commonly used email applications on the planet, Gmail should be able to accommodate users who do not understand English. In addition to reading your Gmail in a foreign language, Google offers several text input features that make typing in a specific language easier (such as Hindi, Arabic, or French). Depending on which device you're using, the process of upgrading your Gmail inbox to read and compose messages in your selected language may differ.
In this article, you'll learn how to change the display language in Gmail on the web (desktop) or in the Gmail app on your mobile device. In addition, you will learn how to compose Gmail messages in another language on both desktop and mobile devices.
