Translating emails with Webmail AI

Valid for: Mail Basic and Mail Business

In this article, we explain how you can use Webmail AI to translate the text of your incoming and outgoing emails.

Requirement

Webmail AI is a paid extension and is therefore not included by default in Webmail. We show you how to order Webmail AI in the article Adding Webmail AI.

Translate received email

If you have activated Webmail AI and receive an email in a language other than the language specified in Webmail, you will automatically be offered an option to translate the email. The following settings are available to you:

  • You can have the email translated into the language you have specified in Webmail.
  • You can specify that all incoming emails are automatically translated from the recognized foreign language into the language specified in Webmail.
  • You can specify that incoming emails are not to be translated.
