Gmail is a mail system created by Google. It includes a spam blocker, instant mail searching, chatting, and many other features, and it is completely free. It is also known to have a very large amount of storage space, which is continually rising in quantity. Gmail is usually on a regular computer, but can now also work on mobile phones.

[edit] Translate

Translate, or the language tools, are an easy way to change text that you type, or even an entire web page, into a different language. Specify the starting and ending languages, and Google does the rest. Translate is not perfect, and it should be used for important things, but it is still a powerful and useful tool.
