Hi, is it possible that the ocr api use two language to parse one image ? For example, this link below, i want to use language=jpn,chs

Sorry, multi-language OCR is currently only supported in OCR engine2. In engine 2 it is enabled by default, since it this engine scans for all supported languages.

But engine2 does not support Chinese and Japanese yet.

So i just switch to engine 2 and then it’s will extract the text what ever is the language used in the image?

This is correct for Western languages. Meanwhile Engine2 also supports Chinese, but for Chinese OCR you have to select the “chs” or “cht” language.
