============
On Gentoo the package ``app-text/tessdata_fast``, which ``app-text/tesseract`` depends on, handles Tesseract languages.
It accepts USE flags to select what languages should be installed, these can be set in ``/etc/portage/package.use``.
Alternatively one can globally set the `L10N use extension <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide#L10N>`__ in ``/etc/portage/make.conf``.
This enables these languages for all packages (e.g. including aspell).
.. code-block:: bash
# Display a list of all Tesseract language packs
equery uses app-text/tessdata_fast
# Add English and German language support for Tesseract only
echo 'app-text/tessdata_fast l10n_de l10n_en' >> /etc/portage/package.use
# Add global English and German language support (the `l10n_` from equery has to be omited)
echo L10N="de en" >> /etc/portage/make.conf
# update system to reflect changed USE flags
emerge --update --deep --newuse @world
You can then pass the ``-l LANG`` argument to OCRmyPDF to give a hint as
to what languages it should search for. Multiple languages can be
requested using either ``-l eng+fra`` (English and French) or
``-l eng -l fra``.
