zoom Zoom AI Services Translator
Current API audit: Official docs and OpenAPI were rechecked on 2026-07-10. The full fast, batch job, job-list/status/cancel, file-list, and per-file detail surface released May 18, 2026 is included below.
Implementation guidance for Zoom AI Services Translator across:
- synchronous plain-text translation (
POST /aiservices/translator/translate) - asynchronous batch text-file jobs (
/aiservices/translator/jobs*) - one-target-language translation workflows
- Build-platform JWT generation and server-side credential handling
- webhook-driven batch status updates

Routing Guardrail
- If the user needs plain text translated, route here first.
- If the user needs audio/video transcribed before translation, route to ../scribe/SKILL.md, then chain here.
- If the user needs summaries or action items, route to ../summarizer/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs live meeting media before translation, route to ../rtms/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs the raw AI Services endpoint inventory, chain ../rest-api/SKILL.md.
- If the user needs webhook signature patterns, optionally chain ../webhooks/SKILL.md.

Core Workflow
- Get Build-platform API key and API secret.
- Generate an HS256 JWT server-side.
- Choose fast mode for one text string or batch mode for stored text files.
- Set
source_languageand a singletarget_languagesentry. - Submit the request and persist
result.translations. - For batch jobs, poll job/file status or receive webhook notifications.

Translation Guardrails
- Fast mode supports one target language per request.
- Batch mode supports one target language per job.
- Translation is bidirectional with English: every job must have either
source_languageortarget_languagesset toen-US. - Non-English to non-English pairs are not supported yet.
- Use BCP-47 locale codes such as
en-USandes-ES, not short codes such asen.
Chaining
- Media to transcript to translation -> ../scribe/SKILL.md +
translator - Summary to localized output -> ../summarizer/SKILL.md +
translator - Batch webhook receiver ->
translator+ ../webhooks/SKILL.md - Raw endpoint discovery -> ../rest-api/SKILL.md
- Cross-product routing -> ../general/SKILL.md
