Hi, Thanks for the post. Did you get the language values from the `getLanguageArray` method([https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-macos/interface\_zoom\_s\_d\_k.html#aba7c748ddb0063d9f05f75ea2fc6585b](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-macos/interface_zoom_s_d_k.html#aba7c748ddb0063d9f05f75ea2fc6585b))? If you pass unsupported language string to the `setPreferLanguage` method, it will have no effect. Thanks! ---

Only contain ‘follow system language’ means your app doesn’t support any language. You can refer to the resource file path and file name in our demo app. ---
