Going to work with Docs & Spreadsheets

Posted by: David Kuettel & Isaac Shum, Software Engineers, Google Docs & Spreadsheets

Corporate workers have experienced the pain of document collaboration for years. Nobody could find the latest version of that important spreadsheet. You were on a sales call and that proposal you needed was stuck on your work computer. Your email inbox was full of everybody's document edits. All that changed with Docs & Spreadsheets. But we kept hearing the same thing from business users - "how do I get everybody in my company using this?" As of today, the answer is easy: Google Apps.

Google Apps lets you offer private-labeled email, instant messaging and calendar accounts to everyone in your organization so they can share ideas and work more effectively. As of today, Google Apps now includes Docs & Spreadsheets. The Google Apps version works just like the Docs & Spreadsheets you know and love but with a few special new features like the ability to publish a document only to your co-workers and support for making everyone in your company a collaborator. Everything is hosted by Google, and no hardware or software is required. Check it out: we think you'll agree that we look pretty dapper in a suit and tie.

Hello World

Dokumenty i Arkusze. That's Polish for Docs & Spreadsheets. I know that because D&S has been pretty popular in Poland since we launched. We've actually been quite popular all around the world, but until now we've offered an English-only experience.

I'm happy to announce that we've just launched Docs & Spreadsheets in 12 new languages. The languages we've added are: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Turkish, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and - you guessed it - Polish. If your favorite language isn't listed here, we've got an additional 18 languages in our spell-checker. You can select your language by clicking "Settings" inside Docs & Spreadsheets.

And if you haven't checked out the Google Toolbar Beta 3 for Firefox with integrated support for Docs & Spreadsheets, you can now download it in all of the same languages.
