Gmail users in Myanmar will be able to choose between two virtual keyboards to allow for the various ways in which you can type in Burmese.

The company launched translation support for Burmese in December, and is encouraging users to improve translated content in the Myanmar language with a translate-a-thon event this Saturday in the capital of Yangon.
