Attempting to update language via PATCH : [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{emailAddress}](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BemailAddress%7D) endpoint with “language” : “zh-CN” as an example. 204 returned and I can see that the Chinese language is selected from the dropdown but not saved to the profile. Looking for help with high priority. ---

Hi @arpithabelli20 Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer forum, I am happy to help here! I am not able to replicate this on my end when I call the Patch user endpoint and pass this request body: ```auto { "language" : "zh-CN" } ``` I get a 204 code and also it gets updated in the UI. Can you try again and call the Get a user endpoint right after to see if it worked? Thanks, Elisa ---

Hi Elisa, Thanks for the information. As you suggested, I called get User API, and still, I can see the language code is in English. Please see the below response. “account\_id”: “F0CidbE6T4WNqQu5scj0BA”, “language”: “en-US”, “phone\_country”: “”, “phone\_number”: “”, “status”: “active” In my case also getting 204 code and Chinese language is selected from the dropdown in the User profile but the remaining things are still in English(Eg: Date Format word, Time Format word, Time Zone word, and Personal Meeting Id and Navbar Items, all are in English I think here, after selecting the Chinese Language not saved to the user profile from the Update user API. If I click manually on the save button then it is taking and I can see the Chinese language in the Get User API response. As we have a requirement to create the meeting with a particular language so I need this to work. Thanks, Arpitha B M ---

Hi @arpithabelli20 Thanks for sharing more details with me. I understand what you are saying and I was able to replicate this. When I change the language via API and I go to the UI, the language does not change (even after getting the 204 code), but when I do it manually in the UI, I can see how the language gets updated. I will create an internal ticket with our Engineering team to investigate this behavior and will update you shortly. Best, Elisa ---
