For more model downloads (including multiple languages), please refer to [PP-OCR v1.1 series model downloads](./doc/doc_en/models_list_en.md)
For more model downloads (including multiple languages), please refer to [PP-OCR v2.0 series model downloads](./doc/doc_en/models_list_en.md).
For a new language request, please refer to [Guideline for new language_requests](#language_requests).
If you want to request a new language support, a PR with 2 following files are needed:
1. In folder [ppocr/utils/dict](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/tree/develop/ppocr/utils/dict),
it is necessary to submit the dict text to this path and name it with `{language}_dict.txt` that contains a list of all characters. Please see the format example from other files in that folder.
2. In folder [ppocr/utils/corpus](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/tree/develop/ppocr/utils/corpus),
it is necessary to submit the corpus to this path and name it with `{language}_corpus.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, please refer to [Multilingual OCR Development Plan](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/issues/1048).
