**Description**  
My account has Pro plan + Webinar add-on and I can not enable the language interpretation option for my meetings. I was following this [link](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034919791-Language-interpretation-in-meetings-and-webinars#h_ead62b5f-f2e1-44cd-aa62-58a4bc2e8bcf) but I don’t have Language Interpretation option. Also, I will need to enable this functionality when I am creating the meetings using the Zoom API.

**Which Web Meeting SDK version?**  
1.9.9

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the zoom profile
2. Click on Settings
3. Scroll down to In Meeting (Advanced)
4. Result: there is no Language Interpretations option to be enabled.

**Screenshots**  
This is the [picture](https://prnt.sc/21emx01) of my Zoom meeting created with the API and Web SDK.  
As you can see, the Language Interpretations button is missing.

**Device (please complete the following information):**

- Browser: Chrome
- Browser Version Version 96.0.4664.45 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hi @aleksandarar ,

Happy to help. Are you following the directions for Account, Group, or User?

Can you send the screenshot and a link to this thread to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) because the screenshot you’ve shared is not displaying your settings.

Gianni

Hello @gianni.zoom,

The support team enabled Language Interpretations on my account, but when I create a meeting with the API and I start it with the SDK on my application the functionality is missing.  
This is how I create the meeting with C#:

```auto
var client = new RestClient(string.Format("{0}users/me/meetings", _appSettings.ZoomApiUrl));
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
request.AddHeader("authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
object jsonParam = new
            {
                topic = meetingName,
                type = 1,
                settings = new
                {
                    waiting_room = false,
                    mute_upon_entry = true,
                    language_interpretation = new
                    {
                        enable = true,
                        interpreters = new object[1]
                        {
                            new {
                                email = "somemail@live.com",
                                languages = "US,CN"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            };

            request.AddParameter("application/json", jsonParam.ToJson(), ParameterType.RequestBody);

```

and this is how I start and join the meeting with the host with Angular 9:

```auto
startMeeting(signature, isHost) {

    var self = this;

    const meetConfig = {
      apiKey: settings.zoomApiKey,
      userName: currentUser.FirstName + ' ' + currentUser.LastName,
      userEmail: currentUser.Email,
      role: '1'
    };

    ZoomMtg.init({
      leaveUrl: settings.zoomApiLeaveUrl + '/#' + this.router.url,
      isSupportChat: false,
      isSupportQA: false,
      isSupportCC: false,
      screenShare: true,
      showMeetingHeader: false,
      showPureSharingContent: false,
      // on success, call the join method
      success: function (success) {
        console.log(success)
        ZoomMtg.showMeetingHeader({
          show: false
        });

        ZoomMtg.join({
          // pass your signature response in the join method
          signature: signature,
          apiKey: meetConfig.apiKey,
          meetingNumber: self.meeting.id,
          userName: meetConfig.userName,
          passWord: self.meeting.password,
          userEmail: meetConfig.userEmail,
          success(res) {
            ZoomMtg.getCurrentUser({
              success(response) {
                var data = {
                  meetingId: self.meeting.id,
                  userEmail: meetConfig.userEmail,
                  userZoomId: response.result.currentUser.userId
                }
                self._zoomPlayerService.insertUserZoomId(data).subscribe(result => {
                  self.zoomParticipantsCount = result;
                })
              }
            });

            ZoomMtg.showRecordFunction({
              show: true
             });
          },
          error(res) {
            console.log(res)
          }
        })
      }
    })
  }

```

[This](https://prnt.sc/21ixqmz) is how Zoom looks like in my application after starting it with the code mentioned before.

**EDIT:** If I join the meeting with Zoom for desktop then Language Interpretations button is available. If I click it I can assign interpreters and if I click Start the button for language interpretations is shown in the application which is using the Web SDK.  
So, the problem is that I can not start the Language Interpretations from the web application which is using the SDK.

Hi @aleksandarar ,

Sorry for the delay!

This makes sense and is expected behavior as the prerequisites for Language Interpretations button include the desktop or mobile client:

Thank you,
