Hi Tommy,  
FYI, I’m experiencing the same limitation in 1.8.0 trying to override some keys within the default language (either custom language name or official locale name) following the documentation exactly as mentioned by @hungnm

Thanks for your support

nvm, I’ve found the issue: you must override the language keys AFTER ZoomMtg.init and BEFORE ZoomMtg.join, then it works like a charm!

@cnadeau you can see my code. I overrode the language keys after ZoomMtg.init and before ZoomMtg.join. But it’s not work.  
And i have to change code of file zoom.js which i converted by Browserify to do this.

@hungnm, here what I did in the sample that worked : [https://github.com/cnadeau/sample-app-web/tree/forum\_pos\_27907](https://github.com/cnadeau/sample-app-web/tree/forum_pos_27907)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing @cnadeau!  
But i’ve resolved this problem by editing source code of Zoom.  
I found a function:

```auto
function r(e){"en-US"===e&&(e="default");var t={...};return t[e]||t.default}

```

and then i changed it to:

```auto
function r(e){"en-US"===e&&(e="default");
if(!ZoomMtg.langWords)ZoomMtg.langWords = {...}
return ZoomMtg.langWords[e]||ZoomMtg.langWords.default

```

so i can overrode default language like this:

```auto
ZoomMtg.init({
	leaveUrl: that.leaveUrl,
	isSupportAV: true,
	disableRecord: false,
	disableInvite:true,
	isShowJoiningErrorDialog: false,
	success: function () {
		if(meetingConfig.lang && that.customWords[meetingConfig.lang]) {
			$.extend(ZoomMtg.langWords[meetingConfig.lang], that.customWords[meetingConfig.lang]);
		}
		$.i18n.reload(meetingConfig.lang);
		ZoomMtg.join({

```
