New in Gmail Labs: Automatic Translation

You can now translate emails within Gmail using the new Automatic Message Translation feature in Labs. Simply go into Google Labs, enable the features and the next time you get a message in a foreign language (or one other than your own), you'll be able to convert it to one that you can understand easier.

You can even have entire email conversations in two (or more) languages and both (or all) parties will be able to understand eachother. [Gmail Blog]

Gmail Blog also had this comic on how scripture was formed when two people couldn't communicate verbally.

Consilidate Tabs Using GMail Web Search Box

Next time you want to email a link to a friend, use Gmail's Web Search Box. All you have to do is enable it in Google Labs. A new search box will appear in your Gmail. You can then use that box to Google search for the link you need and put it in your email.

It's not a huge thing, but it's definitely better than having to open up a new tab. [GMail Blog]

Track Topics & Stories Over Time with Google Timeline

Well, the folks over at Google Labs have created awesome, again. This time they have come out with a stream of news events (the same events found in Google News) sorted in a timeline. This allows you to search for updates on a specific story on a specific date over days, weeks, months, and years. Check it out at http://newstimeline.googlelabs.com/.

Google News Timeline presents search results from a wide range of sources. You can search and browse results from Google News, including headlines, quotes, photos from our Hosted News partners, and YouTube partner videos. You can also search for thousands of archival newspapers and magazines from Google News Archive Search and Google Book Search.

You can also add Blog Search results and sports scores, as well as information about books, music, movies, tv shows, video games, and even artists, to see how they've appeared over time.
