### Languages
If your documents aren't only english documents, it's recommend to set [PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/#PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE).
> It should be a 3-letter code, see the list of languages Tesseract supports.
> Set this to the language most of your documents are written in.
> This can be a combination of multiple languages such as `deu+eng`, in which case Tesseract will use whatever language matches best. Keep in mind that Tesseract uses much more CPU time with multiple languages enabled.

```
paperless_environment_variables_extension: |
PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE=deu+eng

Additional if the language is not English, German, Italian, Spanish or French, the language has to be installed with the Command
[PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES](https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/configuration/#PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES)
```
paperless_environment_variables_extension: |
PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES=tur ces chi-tra
```
