When a user types a time or date expression in the event title field, a dismissible suggestion banner appears. Pressing Enter or clicking Apply sets the event time/date and strips the matched text from the title. Pressing Escape or clicking Dismiss hides the banner. Supported patterns: - Time only: "2pm", "14:00", "9am" - Time range: "10:00 - 14:00", "10am to 2pm" - Date (all-day): "July 23", "23.07.26", "07/23/2026" - Date range (all-day): "June 1 to June 3", "June 1-3" - Date + time: "July 23, 4pm", "14.08.2026 19:00" - All day: "all day", "all-day" - Relative: "tomorrow", "next Monday", "this Friday", "in 3 days" - Weekday + time: "next Friday 14:00" Multi-language support via chrono-node locale routing based on the user's Nextcloud language setting (de, fr, es, it, nl, pt, ru, uk, sv, fi, ja, vi, zh-hans, zh-hant, with English fallback). The shared logic lives in TimeSuggestionMixin so both EditSimple and EditFull stay in sync without duplication.

94 tests covering: - Null/empty input - All-day, time-only, time-range, date, date-range, datetime types - European date format (DD.MM.YY) priority over built-in parser - Relative expressions: tomorrow, next Monday, this Friday, in 3 days - Weekday + time combos: next Friday 14:00 - Title stripping at leading, mid, and trailing positions - Multi-language: de, fr, es, it, nl, ru, pt, sv, zh_CN with regional code normalisation and unsupported-language fallback Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-sonnet-4-6 Signed-off-by: Anna Larch <anna@nextcloud.com>
