Abstract: An event translator system may perform at least three tasks: (1) extract or “harvest” date, time, description, and other information from digital files generated for human reading, such as web calendars or other event lists, emailed calendars, and imported files; (2) present the extracted event data to a user for modification, management, and monitoring; and (3) export the events to PIM software, web pages and/or application programming interfaces as appropriate file formats. The event translation system may be incorporated into a web site that is accessed by the user who enters a desired web address for event translation or otherwise transmits the digital files for translation. Alternatively, the system may be incorporated into a webpage as a browser plug-in that provides a user-selectable option to extract event information from a visited webpage. Other implementations are possible, including incorporation into desktop software, enterprise software on a server, and plug-ins for e-mail or other applications, among others.

Abstract translation: 事件翻译系统可以执行至少三个任务：（1）从为人类阅读生成的数字文件（例如网络日历或其他事件列表，电子邮件日历和导入的）中提取或“收获”日期，时间，描述和其他信息 文件; （2）将提取的事件数据提供给用户进行修改，管理和监控; 和（3）将事件导出到PIM软件，网页和/或应用程序编程接口作为适当的文件格式。 事件翻译系统可以被并入由用户输入用于事件翻译的所需网址访问的网站，或以其他方式发送用于翻译的数字文件。 或者，系统可以作为浏览器插件并入到网页中，该浏览器插件提供用户可选择的选项以从访问网页提取事件信息。 其他实现是可能的，包括并入桌面软件，服务器上的企业软件，以及用于电子邮件或其他应用程序的插件等。
