Zoom Events Bilingual

Hello, 

 

I'm planning a Zoom event and I need to be fully bilingual, English and French. Would the interface be in French if the attendee chose French as their language? Would all the buttons on our event be bilingual, such as the buttons for sign up, lobby, sessions... etc.?

    Welcome to the Zoom Community, @TamaraK.

     

    I pasted your post’s text into the Zoom Virtual Assistant and got a great answer which helped me respond. ZVA is getting a lot better at giving good answers!

     

    See this screenshot from “Using the desktop Zoom Events lobby” at

    So it’s dependent on the user setting the Language component in their Zoom Events profile. You might want to make a short video (in both languages) and promote that in your Communication > Email messages.

     

    BTW, great question! I’m setting up an international nursing conference for April 2026, and wondered about this as well, but hadn’t researched it until I saw your post.

      Zoom Events does support multiple languages including French (French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Indonesian). It will detect this based on the device and then show the native components of the UI such as buttons and other UI in the local language.

      The attendees will easily be able to navigate the platform as the main components will be in the local language. Keep in mind the actual session names, descriptions will be in the language you build the event in (so you may want to write them in both languages when building event).

        hi ​@TamaraK ,

        There are many ways you can do this.
        The most common is that Zoom allows you to have translators on the call. They do a live translation and visitors can listen in to that translation, as well as, or instread of the live speaker. However, you need to provide the person to do the translation for you.

        There are also third party companies that can automate the translation for a fee.
        And options for translated captions.

        all the best

        John
