About This Feature

Overview

Email Translate is an email translation feature in WPS Office for Mac that helps you read incoming messages in different languages more efficiently. After you open an email, you can right-click inside the message body to translate the full message. After translation, you can view the original message, open translation settings, or switch to another target language. In mailbox settings, you can also choose a default translation language for future use.

Core tasks include:

Translate an email: Translate the full content of an opened email from the reading view.
Set a default translation language: Choose the target language used by default for later translations.

Capability Summary	In the Mac mail reading view, WPS supports full-message translation, lets you view the original message after translation, open settings, switch target languages, and set a default translation language in settings.	Outlook for Mac supports translating received email messages through the Translator add-in and lets users choose the target language in the Translator window.	Gmail can show a translation prompt when a message language differs from user preferences, and users can also manually choose Translate message from the More menu.	Notion Mail documents interface language settings on its official help page, but the reviewed official mail help page does not document a native full-email translation workflow.	Adobe Acrobat documents PDF translation on its official help page, which supports document translation scenarios rather than inbox email translation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Right-click in the email body to start full-message translation directly. Distinct: It combines in-message language switching with a default translation language setting.	Compared with WPS: Outlook for Mac requires the Translator add-in before use.	Compared with WPS: Gmail mainly uses a top banner or More menu, and its translation behavior is tied to language preferences.	Compared with WPS: The reviewed official help page does not describe native email content translation steps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's documented translation flow focuses on PDFs instead of email reading.

Overall Conclusion

For cross-language email reading on Mac, WPS provides a direct full-message translation entry inside the mail reading view and also supports a default target language. Microsoft and Google also provide email translation, but their entry points and setup flows differ. Notion and Adobe currently document adjacent scenarios such as interface language or document translation rather than the same inbox reading workflow.
