Gmail is one of the most popular and used email service providers. Since almost all features are available in the free version, there are more than 1.5 billion users in Gmail.

Gmail offers its clients to use the email service platform in the language they want. It not only offers them to change the default language of the platform, but it also offers them many advanced features that are offered to English language users.
For example, features like smart compose and smart reply are advanced features that Gmail offers to its English language users. These features are also available to users that use French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
