Hello. I use the API to schedule meetings [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate), everything works fine.  
The Language Interpretation functionality in my account is also available to me [https://monosnap.com/direct/jcSY48i3EoMC4bvk8Axl6lHv5b596v](https://monosnap.com/direct/jcSY48i3EoMC4bvk8Axl6lHv5b596v).  
In the description of the API, I did not find how to schedule meeting, with available Language Interpretation.  
In addition, I use web sdk to start and integrate conferences into the browser ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web)). But the SDK documentation also does not describe anything about Language Interpretation.  
I need to be able to include Language Interpretation when creating a meeting through the API.  
Please tell me how to do this.

Please tell me, is it planned to implement Language interpretation in the API / Web SDK?  
If yes, then when?

Hello,

There have been two months since last reply.  
Does this still have no plans to be implemented?

Cheers,  
Carlos
