Languages may not be available on the Bosch DICENTIS microphone but only on the receiver because the language is not configured as a Dante source or "Send to Dante" in the DICENTIS system. If a language is not set up correctly, it will not appear with a green checkmark in the Dante Controller, preventing it from being transmitted to the microphone.

To resolve this issue:
1. Ensure that the language is configured as a Dante source or "Send to Dante" in DICENTIS.
2. Verify that the correct DanteTM I/O (DCNM-LDANTE) license is applied for each language output.
3. Check that the Dante Controller is not running on the same PC as the DICENTIS services if the PC has two Ethernet cards, as this can cause connection issues.
4. Confirm that the number of devices in the system is equal to or greater than the number of languages provided by DICENTIS to ensure proper floor filling.
