谷歌日历类似_Google日历摆脱了新设计中的最佳功能

谷歌日历类似

A few months ago, Google launched a new design for Google Calendar—and frankly, it was long overdue. Google Calendar has been using the same interface for ages, and the new one is nice and modern…except it’s missing Google Calendar’s best feature: adding events with natural language, like “Dinner with Mom at 6pm”.

几个月前， 谷歌为谷歌日历推出了一种新设计 —坦率地说，它早就该了。 Google日历多年来一直使用相同的界面，而新的界面既美观又现代……除了缺少Google日历的最佳功能：添加具有自然语言的活动，例如“下午6点与妈妈共进晚餐”。

There’s a tendency on the internet for everyone to scream “This is awful!” every time a website or service changes their design. It’s often unwarranted. People just don’t like change, and most of these complaints are overblown.

互联网上有一种趋势，每个人都会大喊“这太糟糕了！” 网站或服务每次更改其设计时。 它通常是不必要的。 人们只是不喜欢改变，而这些抱怨大多数都被夸大了。

This is not one of those times.

这不是那个时代之一。

Web不再支持Google日历的自然语言处理 (Google Calendar’s Natural Language Processing Is Gone from the Web)

I’m usually not one to cry foul at every new design, but in this case, Google has gotten rid of an actual feature that used to exist, and for reasons I can’t quite understand. Its natural language processing just doesn’t work anymore.

我通常都不会对每个新设计都大声疾呼，但是在这种情况下，Google摆脱了以前存在的实际功能，出于种种原因，我不太了解。 它的自然语言处理不再起作用了。

Here’s how it worked in the old Google Calendar: you could add an event with the text “Dinner with Mom at 6pm”…

这是在旧版Google日历中的工作方式：您可以添加一个带有“下午6点与妈妈共进晚餐”文本的活动…

…and it would create an event called “Dinner with Mom”, at 6:00 PM on the day you selected.

…它将在您选择的当天下午6:00创建一个名为“与妈妈共进晚餐”的活动。

In the new design, however, you can still create an event called “Dinner with Mom at 6pm”…

但是，在新设计中，您仍然可以创建一个名为“下午6点与妈妈共进晚餐”的活动…

…but Google Calendar will just create an all-day event called “Dinner with Mom at 6pm”. This is not even remotely the same thing, and it’s far less useful.

…但是Google日历只会创建一个全天活动，名为“下午6点与妈妈共进晚餐”。 这甚至不是遥不可及的东西，它的用处不大。

It does let you set the time and duration of the event in the popup window (unlike the old design), but for the enlightened souls that use keyboard shortcuts for everything, this is actually significantly slower—instead of keeping your hands on the keyboard for everything, you have to type, then click…click…click…click. And it’s infuriating.

它的确可以让您在弹出窗口中设置事件的时间和持续时间(与旧的设计不同)，但是对于那些使用键盘快捷键执行所有操作的开明灵魂来说，这实际上要慢得多，而不是将手放在键盘上一切，都必须键入，然后单击...单击...单击...单击。 而且真是令人生气。

Update: As of February 2018, Google has added a portion of this feature to the new interface! If you click on a day and enter an event with a time attached, it will now recognize that time as the time of the event. It still can’t recognize locations, but it’s a good start.

更新 ：截至2018年2月，Google已在新界面中添加了部分此功能！ 如果单击一天并输入带有时间的事件，则它将立即将该时间识别为事件的时间。 它仍然无法识别位置，但这是一个好的开始。

它仍然存在于移动设备和Chrome扩展程序中 (It Still Exists on Mobile and with the Chrome Extension)

Strangely, this feature does still exist—just not on the standalone web version of Google Calendar.

奇怪的是，此功能仍然存在-仅在独立的网络版Google日历上不存在。

If you install the Google Calendar Chrome extension, you can access a small version of Google Calendar from your toolbar and add events using natural language, just like the old days.

如果您安装了Google Calendar Chrome扩展程序 ，则可以从工具栏中访问小版本的Google日历，并使用自然语言添加事件，就像过去一样。

In addition, the Google Calendar apps on iPhone and Android seem to put a big stress on natural language. As you type an event, it will suggest changes to the event based on what you type. So if you type “Dinner with Cameron”, it’ll offer you the option to add Cameron to the event. And if you say “At 6pm”, it won’t automatically set the event to 6:00 PM, but it will give you an option for one-tap time setting. This works pretty well on mobile, since it’s all touch-based anyway.

此外，iPhone和Android上的Google日历应用似乎给自然语言带来了很大压力。 键入事件时，它将根据您键入的内容建议对事件进行更改。 因此，如果您输入“与Cameron一起用餐”，它将为您提供将Cameron添加到活动中的选项。 如果您说“下午6点”，它不会自动将活动设置为下午6:00，但会为您提供一键式时间设置的选项。 由于无论如何都是基于触摸的，因此在移动设备上效果很好。

So this feature isn’t gone everywhere—just the web. That means that sadly, the Chrome Address Bar trick doesn’t work anymore either.

因此，此功能并非无处不在-仅在网络上。 遗憾的是，这意味着Chrome地址栏技巧不再起作用。

Google，带回来！ (Google, Bring This Back!)

Thankfully, the old calendar is still an option…for now. (Just click the Settings cog in the upper right-hand corner and choose “Back to Classic Calendar”.) But Google doesn’t say anything about this new design being “in beta” or “in testing”…it just says that this is the new Google Calendar, which worries me.

幸运的是，现在仍然可以使用旧日历。 (只需单击右上角的“设置”齿轮，然后选择“返回经典日历”。)但是Google并没有说这种新设计处于“测试版”或“测试中”………是新的Google日历，这让我感到担心。

We know Google hasn’t abandoned natural language processing—in fact, they’re probably investing in it more than ever before thanks to Google Assistant and Google Home. This isn’t a decision based on resources, it’s a design decision, and I just don’t get it.

我们知道Google并没有放弃自然语言处理-实际上，由于有了Google Assistant和Google Home，他们可能比以往任何时候都对自然语言处理进行了更多的投资。 这不是基于资源的决定，而是设计决定，我只是不明白。

If you’re as befuddled as I am, be sure to click the Settings > Send Feedback option in the new calendar design and let Google know what you want. Hopefully they’ll listen.

如果您像我一样迷惑不解，请确保在新的日历设计中单击“设置”>“发送反馈”选项，并让Google知道您想要什么。 希望他们会听。
