Save time with scheduling features in Calendar

Save time with an easier way to schedule meetings in Google Calendar People-first scheduling makes it quick and easy to find meeting times with your colleagues. You can add rooms, a location, a video conference and add a meeting description without having to click into “More options.” When creating a new meeting in Calendar, you’ll now be able to do the following: Peek at calendars and automatically add guests: Now, when you add a calendar in the Meet with ...“Search for people” box, you can temporarily view coworkers’ calendars. Creating a new event then automatically adds those people as guests to your meeting and will sometimes even suggest a title for the meeting. More fields in the creation pop-up dialog: The Guests, Rooms, Location, Conferencing, and Description fields are now editable directly in the meeting creation pop-up dialog. Once you add your coworkers’ calendars, they’ll load right in the background, making it even easier and faster to find an available time for everyone.

Translate languages in Google Sheets

Translate text from one language into another with this simple formula in Google Sheets Whether you’re a student studying a new language or a tourist encountering new words, the Google Translate formula in Google Sheets provides you with an easy access list of what you know, or want to know. To get started simply enter a word in one language in a cell, and then use the formula =GOOGLETRANSLATE(cell with text, “source language”, “target language”) in another cell to translate it. You can even drag the fill handle at the bottom of the formula cell down to apply this formula to more than one cell. Here’s an example, translating English words into Spanish: =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A2, “en”,”es”) This formula works for all languages supported by Google Translate. You’ll just need to know the 2-letter code for the language, which you can find in this list .
