      Log into your Gmail account at gmail.com. Once logged in the basics of the account are just like any other email account. You can compose, read and archive emails that you receive or send from your email account. One of the first things that you can use in the Gmail account is to customize it to your own language. By making a setting change in the setup section, you can have the interface and messages displayed in any of a multitude of foreign languages.
