Google Calendar New Feature: Gemini in side panel now available in 20+ additional languages

Last year, Google added Google Calendar to the list of apps that Gemini in Gmail connects with. As a result, users can ask Gemini in Gmail to perform select calendar-related actions or answer questions about their calendars such as: 
  • When is my [first event] next week? 
  • Create a [30 min] calendar event for my weekly [yoga class] every [Monday and Wednesday] at [9 AM]. 
  • Create a [1h] event for [lunch] [tomorrow] at [noon]. 
Today, Google is excited to announce this feature is available in more than 20 additional languages: 
  1. Arabic
