You can process documents in different languages. You specify the language that is used by the recognition engines by setting the recognition language value on the node. You can set language values to recognize different languages on the documents, pages, and fields of your application.
A recognition engine can support the recognition of multiple languages. For these engines, you can set the language that is recognized for the entire page or for each field on the page. Setting recognition values on the Document and Page levels can recognize multiple language types within a single application. For example, you can configure Page A to be recognized in English and Page B to be recognized in French. Setting locale values at the field level enables multiple language recognition on a single page.
In addition to the locale specification, specific engine settings to configure the recognized language are also available by using Datacap Studio. On the Zones tab, you use the appropriate recognition engine tab, such as the OCR/S tab for the OCR/S engine. You can set the language settings in the Language Environment, Recognition Setup, and Spell Check sections of the Properties tab. If you set these values here, the recognition engine uses these values first. If these settings are not set here, the recognition engine uses the locale setting that is configured by the Taskmaster Application Manager. In this case, the Taskmaster Application controls the hr_locale variable.
The Properties tab of the recognition engine also contains a Use Locale setting. If the Use Locale value is set to Yes, the recognition engine must use the value of the hr_locale variable. Even if the language settings for the engine are set. If you are using OCR/S and are recognizing simplified Chinese, you must set the OCR/S Module setting to Asian recognition. When you use the Asian recognition module, the Filter setting is not used.
