Availing Gmail web application for iPhone and Android is not so tough. Just visit gmail.com from your device and you can find a application download link.

Features such as search, stars, labels and threaded conversations all work in the mobile webapp just as they do in the desktop Gmail experience. But all these were available for only English version of Gmail web application.

But today Google has rolled out Gmail web application for 44 more languages. Below is the list of languages,
