Selecting languages for interpreter services on Zoom

Hello,

 

I have to enable interpreter services from time to time for a class. I see that there are only NINE languages options to choose from. This week I needed to choose Arabic and Punjabi. Is there a way to add these languages to the drop down feature?

    Yes, you can add custom languages to the list of available languages. This article can show you how: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034919791-Using-Language-Interpretation-in-your-meeting-or-webinar#h_01FFJJF6C4ZG324B3YHHDAPF4C

    Hi @NATHANFMR 

    The link provided in my reply above has the default languages that Zoom provides, as well as instructions on how to add custom languages. 

     

    Hope that helps!

    Hello @Bort 

    I have a problem. I try to follow the link but I still can not add language because I can not see the plus sign (+) symbol to add more languages. How can I solve this problem?

    Thank You.

    Hi @NUT9 

    Based on your screenshot, it looks like you're trying to add a custom language while you are scheduling the meeting. Instead, go to the Language Interpretation setting in the Settings page to add a custom language option. 

    Once you've added the custom language(s) there, you can see those as an option when scheduling or editing an existing meeting.

    @BortThanks a lot. Now I can add the custom language.
