## Guideline for new language request
If you want to request a new language support, a PR with 2 following files are needed：
1. In folder [ppocr/utils/corpus](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/tree/develop/ppocr/utils/corpus),
it is necessary to submit the corpus text to this path and name it with `{language}_corpus.txt` that contains a list of all characters. Please see the format example from other files in that folder.
2. In folder [ppocr/utils/dict](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/tree/develop/ppocr/utils/dict),
it is necessary to submit the dict to this path and name it with `{language}_dict.txt` that contains a list of words in your language.
Maybe, 50000 words per language is necessary at least.
Of course, the more, the better.
If your language has unique elements, please tell me in advance within any way, such as useful links, wikipedia and so on.
More details, see [Multilingual OCR Development Plan](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/issues/1048)
