While Gmail is pretty good at filtering out spam, I keep getting foreign language spam emails in my inbox. I think given that Google has translation software online, they should hook that technology into email so that their users can set preferences for languages that they will accept, and based on that information, Gmail should either filter the emails straight to spam or to a special other languages folder, with the email auto-translated and an option to view the original. That would be useful for lots of people, I think.
