Create Google Calendar events on your ipad

IOS

Google recently launched an ipad version of its popular Google Calendar app. We’ll show you how to set up and use the app, so that you can create events on your ipad and receive notifications on other devices that have the app installed.

Install the app from www.snipca. com/24101. If you already use a Gmail account on your ipad, you’ll be prompted to log in when you first open the app. Alternatively, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you can add events from all of them to the app. To do that, tap the sliders next to your listed email addresses when you open the app, then tap Get Started. Finally, tap Allow, swipe across the introductory screens, then tap OK.

When the app opens, you’ll see all your events (in various colours to represent birthdays, holidays and so on) on a weekly view. Tap the three lines at the top left to see what each colour represents. By default all event types are ticked, but you can untick the ones you don’t want to see. From here, you can also change your default view from Week to Day or Month (see screenshot). Tap any event on your calendar, then tap the pen icon to edit its details, such as the time, location or reminder setting.

There are two ways to add a new event reminder. You can scroll to the day the event starts, long-press the start time bracket, then enter your event details in the pop-up window that appears. Alternatively, tap the orange ‘+’ button at the bottom right, tap Event/reminder, then enter the details (including date and time) when prompted.

Microsoft’s browser Edge offers a simple way to translate foreignlanguage text with just a few clicks. To do this, you need to install the Microsoft extension Translator.

Open Edge, click the three dots at the top right, click Extensions at the bottom, then click the ‘Get extensions from the Store’ link. When the Store opens, click the ‘Translator for Microsoft Edge’ extension, then click the blue Get button. Next, select your C Drive then click Install. You’ll see a message near to your notification area when that’s completed. Finally, click the Launch button, then click ‘Turn it on’.

Now whenever you come across foreign-language text while browsing, highlight it, then click the Translator icon on your toolbar (see screenshot above). The tool will tell you which language the text is in and provide the option to translate it into English. Click the ‘Translate this page’ button to see your highlighted text translated.
