Garett Rogers writes about an interesting hidden feature in Gmail which will help you find messages written in certain language. Try searching for “language:<language name>”. For instance, if you want to search for messages written in Spanish then search for language:Spanish.
It works with most languages, but oddly English isn’t supported. Otherwise, we could have created a filter which eliminates all unreadable mails written in different language. BTW, why was Google shy to inform us about this? Maybe they are still working on adding more search filters.

Definitely. The English language is not supported right now, right ? So, its probably evidence that they’re not finished. I think Gmail needs to grow up a lot both in design and in helping laymen use advanced filters.

English works well, but for many mails the language can’t be identified so that a search language:French leaves out some results

But does this feature works for Indian languages?

I’m wondering if there will be also smaller smaller languages support. For example Slovene language (and many European languages). No sign yet.
