The list of languages available depends on what's installed on your system.

For example, on Ubuntu/Debian/etc, if you use Tesseract, you can install the Chinese data files with the following command: sudo apt install tesseract-ocr-chi-sim tesseract-ocr-chi-tra (chi-sim = simplified Chinese ; chi-tra = traditional Chinese).

For a complete list of supported languages: apt search tesseract-ocr- / Tesseract wiki
