If you are one of the hundreds of millions of Spanish speakers in North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean, you’ve been able to use your Gmail in Latin American Spanish since last year. Today, you can now also switch your Google Calendar language to “Español (Latinoamérica).”

The Spanish spoken in these regions differs greatly from one country to the next due to geography, separate cultures, customs, and histories.
