Translate an incoming email without leaving Inbox
Enable either Google Translate or AI translation, choose the target language, and read the result inline.
Enable one translation provider
- For Google, open Settings → Google Translate, follow its setup guide, and supply a Cloud Translation API key. Enable the API in your Google Cloud project and restrict the key to the service when possible.
- For AI, configure and enable Settings → AI Provider with a valid key, then enable AI Inbox translation.
Only one Inbox translation provider can be enabled at a time. A missing key or a disabled provider hides the Translate message action.

Translate on demand
- Open a message in Classic, Chat, or List Inbox and choose Translate message.
- Check the detected source language and select your desired language. The result appears inline. Use the original-message control to switch back.
HTML mail keeps its layout and images where supported; the translation changes the text, not the saved email. Subject and message text go to your selected provider only when requested; attachments are not sent. Provider charges may apply. Review important translations for accuracy.
