It’s been a few months since Google rolled out some major updates to the Gmail interface, including support for colored labels, group chat, graphic emoticons, a new contact manager, and new keyboard shortcuts.

Now Google is offering the same features to non-English speakers. The company is rolling out the updated version of Gmail to 37 new languages. There are still a few unsupported languages. But whether you speak Croation, Icelandic, Hebrew, or Arabic, you can still user the older version of Gmail.

The update additionally means that the rest of the world

gets to experience the joy of watching their Gmail-specific browser plugins stop working. Fortunately, third party developers have been hard at work for the last few months updating their Gmail notifiers and Greasemonkey scripts. So whether you’re reading a translated version of that page and you’ve noticed your plugins don’t work anymore, it might be a good moment to check the developer homepages to see whether there are new versions available.
