These words will be highlighted in yellow with the words 'unrecognized text'.

Users select 'Settings' on Google Calendar. In the 'Under your current time zone' section, select another time zone. When the user moves to another time zone, go back to this site and click the Swap button on the right. All meetings and appointments will appear in the current time zone.
