Some capabilities of Azure Vision support multiple languages; any capabilities not mentioned here only support English.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Azure VisionRead API supports many languages. TheRead API can extract text from images and documents with mixed languages, including from the same text line, without requiring a language parameter. SeeHow to specify theRead model to use the new languages.

Note

Language code optional

Read OCR's deep-learning-based universal models extract all multi-lingual text in your documents, including text lines with mixed languages, and do not require specifying a language code. Do not provide the language code as the parameter unless you are sure about the language and want to force the service to apply only the relevant model. Otherwise, the service may return incomplete and incorrect text.

Multimodal embeddings

The latestMultimodal embeddings model supports vector search in many languages. The original model supports English only. Images that are vectorized in the English-only model are not compatible with text searches in the multi-lingual model.
