Parlez-vous fran?ais? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Or if you read any of 11 newly supported languages, you will feel right at home with Gmail. In addition to English, Gmail now supports Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and UK English. (Sorry, no Klingon.) If you want to experience Gmail in one of these languages, read on for simple instructions to make the change…
Simply click on the “Settings” link at the upper right of any Gmail page. Look toward the middle of the page, and you will find a dropdown selector labeled “Gmail display language”.

When the screen refreshes, you will be presented with the familiar Gmail screen, just with the new language integrated throughout the interface.
