Request for Multi-language Dial-in Solution in Zoom with 3-Digit Numeric Codes

[asilva1]

Dear Zoom Team and Community,

I am writing to suggest an enhancement for the dial-in system to better support multiple languages. I recommend implementing 3-digit numeric codes for each language, based on the T9 keypad mapping of the language names. This would address the issue of duplicate codes and simplify the process for users to dial into meetings in their preferred language.

Proposed Solution:

Each language would be assigned a unique 3-digit numeric code, derived from the first three letters of the language’s name, following the T9 keypad mapping. For example:

• English (EN) → 364 (E → 3, N → 6, G → 4)
• Spanish (ES) → 772 (S → 7, P → 7, A → 2)
• French (FR) → 373 (F → 3, R → 7, E → 3)
• German (DE) → 437 (G → 4, E → 3, R → 7)

In cases of duplicates (e.g., Spanish and Arabic both map to 772), appending an additional digit would ensure uniqueness:

• Spanish (ES) → 772
• Arabic (AR) → 773 (adjusted)

Additionally, it would be helpful if Zoom could leverage the existing audio channels for translation options within meetings to handle language support. This would provide a more seamless experience and eliminate the need for dial-in participants to remember different numeric codes for each language.

Please let me know if there is a better solution for this, as we need this feature as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Alberto
