WHAT IS UP with translations? And why can't the host adjust the participant translation settings?

Several months ago I purchased the add-on so that I could get translated captions. Sometimes they work beautifully. Sometimes they SUCK. 

 

Let me give you an example:

During today's meeting (taking place in French) I had the translated captions on because my native tongue is English. Here is what Zoom translated during the meeting:

 

Check the box on, pop up coffee. I think. Submit.

Yeah. This is only on summer. A. I put? So say, Yeah, you. Part of it that ensemble, is it there. Papa, how.

Our shen mem. Here the the problem. Benefit the validity on per me. I say, I say, prevail. The 2 vendors at the at the problem. Kuma. Meso, c. The. That? Can you strictly. They were wound of a blockage separate of process to projection. Tradikary Se Possible. Ensemble. Abre. In for power. C. Met. The. Kilogram. Dolly dollar. Like. Bye.

 

Obviously this is nonsensical. I also had another transcriber running, here is what was said:

Moi j'ai une question, s'il vous plaît.

Par rapport à un écho, puisque on vous a introduit ce qui s'est passé et donc on est intéressé à savoir est ce qu'ils vont revenir ? Est ce que est ce qu'on peut espérer ça ? Désolé de le dire vraiment directement puisque il y a plusieurs attentes des des communautés avec lesquelles on on on, on travaille et et parfois on n'arrive pas à. À trouver les bons mots. Si, si, si, si je m'exprime bien. Parce que parfois on nous demande et on ne sait pas quoi répondre. Et est ce que il y a une lueur de d'espérance ? Que ça ça revienne. Merci.

 

Which another AI translated to:

I have a question, please.

In relation to ECHO, since you have been told what happened and so we are interested in knowing if they will come back? Can we hope for that? Sorry to say it really directly since there are several expectations of the communities with which we are, we work and and sometimes we can't manage to.

To find the right words. Yes, yes, yes, if I express myself well. Because sometimes we are asked and we don't know what to answer.

And is there a glimmer of hope? Let it come back. Thank you.

 

Why is Zoom's translation so terrible? At least with the second one I know the general topic we are discussing! I can only assume that part of the problem is that the speaker did not have their settings correct (or Zoom couldn't identify it as French). Why can't I, as host, set their language correctly... just like I would do if they needed to be muted?

 

For the record, in the same meeting, with one of the other participants, the translation was perfect.

Resolved! Timing out after 40 minutes

I hold weekly office hours in Zoom, ranging from 60 to 90 minutes. They are drop-in sessions. Today two students dropped in right at the start, talked with me for about 5 minutes, and then exited. There were 55 minutes left in the session. But because of this feature, the session automatically ended after 40 minutes and I wasn't able to re-start the session. The result is that if any students wanted to join me toward the end of the session, they can't.

 

This is a ridiculous feature. Please fix it.

Duplicate Zoom Meeting Setup

Hi Everyone!  Is there a way to duplicate a zoom meeting?  I have a meeting with lots of predefined breakout rooms and was hoping i wouldn't have to do that setup each time a meeting like this is needed.  Thanks!

Resolved! Welsh language for captions

On the website, Welsh is listed as a language option for captions, just not as the source language. However, it is not listed. I'm confused, can anyone advise?

log in issues

Every time I want to schedule a meeting through my cellphone, I have to log in again. Why doesn't the app stay permanently open like before?
