Universal Supports: Translation Tools
Google's translation tools are available for over 100 languages.
Add languages you understand and order them to read web content in your preferred language when it’s available.
Your Chromebook’s features, like settings, menus, and select-to-speak, use the language you chose when you first set up your device.
Google sites like Gmail, Drive, and YouTube use your Google Account language unless you’ve changed the individual product language
