IronOCR supports 22 international languages, but only English is installed within IronOCR as standard.

Additional Language packs may be easily added to your .Net project via Nuget or as Dlls which can be downloaded and added as project references.

3. Language = IronOcr.Languages.Arabic.OcrLanguagePack,
