About This Feature

Overview

Email Translate is a reading assistance feature in WPS Mail on Windows. It lets you translate the body of an email into a target language and switch back to the original message when needed.

Core capabilities include:

Translate a full email: Start a full-message translation from the right-click menu in the reading view.
Set a default translation language: Choose a preferred target language in general settings for later translations.
View the original and switch languages: After translation, you can return to the original message or change to another target language.

This feature is useful for cross-language communication, overseas business email reading, and understanding notices written in other languages without copying content into a separate translator.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports full-email translation from the message-body right-click menu, lets you view the original message after translation, and lets you set a default target language in settings.	Outlook for Windows supports translating words, phrases, and full messages, and it also provides translation preferences and automatic translation options for some mail scenarios.	Gmail can prompt translation with a banner and also lets you manually translate a message from the More menu, with target-language switching from the translation bar.	Notion Mail officially documents interface language settings, but its public help pages do not describe a native full-email translation workflow.	Acrobat provides document translation for PDFs, which supports adjacent document workflows rather than in-mail reading and translation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can start full-email translation directly from the reading view with a right-click, then switch back to the original or change the target language from the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: Outlook documents broader translation controls, but its entry points are described through top prompts, ribbon actions, or more-actions menus.	Compared with WPS: Gmail supports banner-based and manual translation, but the official page states that the feature is for Google Accounts and not IMAP accounts.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail publicly documents language settings, but not a built-in full-email translation flow in the message-reading experience.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF translation instead of native email reading and translation inside a mail client.

Overall Conclusion
Email Translate on Windows is designed for direct email-reading workflows, especially when you want to translate a message quickly from the reading area and keep access to the original text. If your work depends more on mail-specific reading and language switching, this flow is straightforward; if you need broader automatic translation policies or document translation outside email, other products may fit those cases better.
