AI Summary Showing in Chinese Instead of English

Hi,

I’m using Zoom’s AI Companion meeting summary feature. The meeting captions were in English, but the generated AI summary is showing up in Chinese.

How can I set the default language to English for the AI summary so it always generates in English?

Thanks in advance

Dear @RVChandan3 ,
that feature unfortunately does not exist yet. The language that a summary is being generated in, is determined by which language was detected most in the meeting.
In case of accented English, it can happen that the majority of the speech is misidentified in being in a different language than English.

 

Hi,
It would be great if Zoom could finally add the feature to set the default and custom languages, as this issue has persisted for years. It’s especially frustrating when all terminology is translated into other languages, but not generated in the language of the meeting.

Same issue. No one speaking Chinese, only English. Am not in China. And AI Summary is in Chinese. 

It should not be a feature for Zoom to provide the correct language in the summary.

Note that this has NOTHING to do with closed captions.

It should not be a feature to have the language set correctly. This has NOTHING to do with closed captions. But the default language in CC is English, so again, why Chinese?
