Question

How to change the language of message boxes, error messages, and recognizer tips from the Engine?

Answer

It is possible to change Engine.MessagesLanguage property to change the language of messages, errors, and warnings returned by the product.

Alternatively, it is possible to modify the registry branch directly: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\SDK\12\FineReader Engine\InterfaceLanguage

The value data can be one of the MessagesLanguageEnum enumerator values.

If the version is different from 12, then please replace 12 with this version number in the registry. For FlexiCapture Engine, please use key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\SDK\12\FlexiCapture Engine\InterfaceLanguage

Note: The locale for the selected message language must be installed on the computer.
