Leverage Multilingual Support in Google Workspace Side Panels
Summarize and brainstorm in 17+ new languages directly in your documents.
Use the updated Gemini side panel in Google Docs, Sheets, and Gmail to generate content or summaries in your native language without leaving the workspace.
The Scenario
You are working on a long project proposal in Google Docs and need to quickly summarize the key points for a colleague who speaks a different language.
Before & after
Users had to copy text into a separate translation tool, translate it, and then summarize it manually. This process usually took 10-15 minutes.
Open the Gemini side panel in Docs, select your preferred language (e.g., French or Chinese), and ask for a summary. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
The Prompt
Summarize the following document in [TARGET_LANGUAGE]: [INSERT_LINK_OR_CONTEXT_FROM_DOC]
Google has expanded language support for the Gemini side panel in Workspace to include 17 additional languages, including Chinese, German, and French.
