If you want to request a new language support, a PR with 1 following files are needed：
1. In folder [ppocr/utils/dict](./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](./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).
Generally, a more complex model would achive better performance in the task, but it also leads to some redundancy in the model. Model Pruning is a technique that reduces this redundancy by removing the sub-models in the neural network model, so as to reduce model calculation complexity and improve model inference performance.
This example uses PaddleSlim provided[APIs of Pruning](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleSlim/api/prune_api/) to compress the OCR model.

### 3. Pruning sensitivity analysis
After the pre-trained model is loaded, sensitivity analysis is performed on each network layer of the model to understand the redundancy of each network layer, and save a sensitivity file which named: sen.pickle. After that, user could load the sensitivity file via the [methods provided by PaddleSlim](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim/blob/develop/paddleslim/prune/sensitive.py#L221) and determining the pruning ratio of each network layer automatically.

The function would return a dict after loading the sensitivity file. The keys of the dict are name of parameters in each layer. And the value of key is the information about pruning sensitivity of corresponding layer. In example, pruning 10% filter of the layer corresponding to conv10_expand_weights would lead to 0.65% degradation of model performance.

At present, ResNet_vd series and MobileNetV3 series are the backbone networks used in PaddleOCR, whether replacing the other backbone networks will help to improve the accuracy? What should be paid attention to when replacing?
-**Tips**
- Whether text detection or text recognition, the choice of backbone network is a trade-off between prediction effect and prediction efficiency. Generally, a larger backbone network is selected, e.g. ResNet101_vd, then the performance of the detection or recognition is more accurate, but the time cost will increase accordingly. And a smaller backbone network is selected, e.g. MobileNetV3_small_x0_35, the prediction speed is faster, but the accuracy of detection or recognition will be reduced. Fortunately, the detection or recognition effect of different backbone networks is positively correlated with the performance of ImageNet 1000 classification task.

- Similar as the 4 stages of ResNet, the replacement of text detection backbone network is to determine those four stages to facilitate the integration of FPN like the object detection heads. In addition, for the text detection problem, the pre trained model in ImageNet1000 can accelerate the convergence and improve the accuracy.
