How to Send Emails in Hindi, Tamil, Telegu & Malayalalam in Gmail ?

Gmail Labs have Come up with a New Feature. You Can Now Type in Hindi. This means you can now send emails to your parents & relatives or even Friends in Mother Tongue.

When you compose a new mail in Gmail, you should now see an icon with an Indian character, as the screenshot below shows. This feature is enabled by default for Gmail users in India.

Using Gmail to Send Emails in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam

If you do not see this function enabled by default, you will need to go the "Settings" page and enable this option in the "Language" section.

When you click the Indian languages icon, you can type words the way they sound in English and Gmail will automatically convert the word to its Indian local language equivalent.

For example, if a Hindi speaker types "namaste" we will transliterate this to "नमस्ते." Similarly, "vanakkam" in Tamil will become "வணக்கம்."

Gmail currently supports five Indian languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam — and you can select the language of your choice from the drop-down list next to the icon.

Enjoy !
