Azure AI Document Intelligence models provide multilingual document processing support. Our language support capabilities enable your users to communicate with your applications in natural ways and empower global outreach. Document analysis models enable text extraction from forms and documents and return structured business-ready content ready for your organization's action, use, or progress. The following tables list the available language and locale support by model and feature:

Read: The read model enables extraction and analysis of printed and handwritten text. This model is the underlying OCR engine for other Document Intelligence prebuilt models like layout, general document, invoice, receipt, identity (ID) document, health insurance card, tax documents and custom models. For more information, see Read model overview

Layout: The layout model enables extraction and analysis of text, tables, document structure, and selection marks (like radio buttons and checkboxes) from forms and documents.

General document: The general document model enables extraction and analysis of text, document structure, and key-value pairs. For more information, see General document model overview

Note

Language code optional

Document Intelligence's deep learning based universal models extract all multi-lingual text in your documents, including text lines with mixed languages, and don't require specifying a language code.
Don't provide the language code as the parameter unless you are sure of the language and want to force the service to apply only the relevant model. Otherwise, the service may return incomplete and incorrect text.
Also, It's not necessary to specify a locale. This is an optional parameter. The Document Intelligence deep-learning technology will auto-detect the text language in your image.
