Hello,

OCR can not detect the language in your image automatically, you need to use Text Analytics - Language detection to recognize the language : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/text-analytics/how-tos/text-analytics-how-to-language-detection

So the step should be: Use OCR/ Read API to recognize the content in your image. Input your result in step 1 to Text Analytics API for language detection. Then you can get the result of the language and also content.

Regards, Yutong
