18 New Languages for Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Google Drive lets you store and access your files anywhere -- on the web, your computer, your phone, or on the go. Whether you’re presenting slides in a boardroom in São Paulo or negotiating a Japanese contract in Tokyo, Google Drive speaks your language:
65 of them
, to be exact, with the addition of 18 new ones today:
Afrikaans, Amharic, Basque, Chinese (Hong Kong), Estonian, French (Canada), Galician, Icelandic, Khmer, Lao, Malaysian, Nepali, Persian, Sinhalese, Spanish (Latin America), Swahili, Urdu, Zulu
You can
switch
back and forth as often as you like, and many of these languages are also supported by Drive’s spellchecker.
Love to collaborate? No matter which Drive app you’re using --
Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms
-- you can work in real time in any language you choose while your fellow collaborators use another language.
To try Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides in another language, you can switch by:
Clicking the
gear icon
in the upper right, then select
Settings
.
Under
General
, select a language from the drop-down menu in the Language section.
Click
Save
. You’re done!
To change the language for Google Drive for mobile, go to your device’s language settings. If you don’t yet have Drive for mobile, you can visit the
Google Play
or
Apple App Store
to get the Google Drive app.
