[. . . ] The following items describe methods for recognizing multiple languages in the same document: N Document Language Group Before you begin to process any pages, you can change the Language Group using the Document Language Group drop down list in the Processing tab of the Page Type Settings dialog box. However, once you have a page in your document, the language group control is disabled and you cannot change the language group. To process pages in a language in a different language group, click New in the File menu to begin a new document. Then, change to the appropriate language group and language. N Document Language Select the main language of your document from the Language checklist in the Processing tab of the Page Type Settings dialog box. The Language list shows all the languages in the current language group (code page). If the language of your document is not listed, select a different language group from the Group list. If the language pack for this language has not been installed, TextBridge will install it. If your language is not in any of the language groups, you may still be able to recognize your document. Choose the language group that has the same characters as your language. Uncheck all the languages in the checklist because you do not want to use their language rules.   For better accuracy and faster processing, choose only those languages used in your document. For best accuracy of multi-lingual documents, choose a single main language for the document and specify the language of other text through zoning. 3­14 TextBridge Pro Millennium Business Edition User's Guide N Language and Zones, Tables, and Cells TextBridge assumes that all text and table zones are in the languages that you have specified for the document. You can change the language of the selected zone, table, or table cells from the document language to any other language in the same language group. Right-click the zone and click Properties in the context menu. In the Properties dialog select the language for this zone using the language drop down list.
