Power PDF Supported Languages for optical character recognition

Tungsten Kofax Power PDF Supported Languages

Power PDF does contain an Optical Character Recognition engine. This engine is used for making Searchable PDFs and supports a number of languages.  

Information:

When the program performs conversions, it can handle over one hundred languages that use the Latin, Greek and Russian alphabets. When converting pages with a text layer, the language selection is not usually so important. It makes a real difference when you have requested OCR to run: to handle image-only pages or text with non-standard encoding.

Tungsten Kofax Power PDF supports the following languages with its Optical Character Recognition.  Here is a full list of the supported languages. Those with dictionary support are highlighted:

Afrikaans, Albanian, Aymara, Basque, Bemba, Blackfoot, Breton, Bugotu, Bulgarian, Byelorussian, Catalan, Chamorro, Chechen, Corsican, Croatian, Crow, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Fijian, Finnish, French, Frisian, Friulian, Gaelic (Irish), Gaelic (Scottish), Galician, Ganda, German, Greek, Guarani, Hani, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Ido, Indonesian, Interlingua, Inuit, Italian, Kabardian, Kasub, Kawa, Kikuyu, Kongo, Kpelle, Kurdish, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luba, Luxembourgian, Malagasy, Malay, Malinke, Maltese, Maori, Mayan, Miao, Minankabaw, Mohawk, Moldavian, Nahuatl, Norwegian, Nyanja, Occidental, Ojibway, Papiamento, Pidgin English, Polish, Portuguese(Standard), Portuguese (Brazilian), Provencal, Quechua, Rhaetic, Romanian, Romany, Ruanda, Rundi, Russian, Sami, Sami Lule, Sami Northern, Sami Southern, Samoan, Sardinian, Serbian (Cyrillic), Serbian (Latin), Shona, Sioux, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Sorbian (Wend), Sotho, Spanish, Sundanese, Swahili, Swazi, Swedish, Tagalog, Tahitian, Tongan, Tswana, Tun, Turkish, Ukrainian, Visayan, Welsh, Wolof, Xhosa, Zapotec, Zulu, Japanese, Chinese (Simplfied), Chinese (Traditional) and Korean.
