The language the emails will be translated to will depend upon the default language users have set in their Gmail account settings. Users can also turn off the feature in the translations menu.

Gmail will automatically detect which emails need to be translated, and will show you banner above the email that you can tap to instantly translate. You can also manually translate mails by clicking on the three-dot menu. Alternatively, you can ignore or dismiss the banner and continue reading the mail in the sent language.
