currently working on adding more functionality to OCRbot. if all goes well, it should soon support languages other than english.
one problem is that the error messages will be in english, and so will the instructions on how to use OCRbot. unfortunately i don't speak any other languages... i could rely on google translate i suppose, but that really seems like a bad idea.
OCRbot should now support multiple languages. simply say @OCRbot jpn and it will parse the image as japanese. support for other languages can easily be added.

@LynnearSoftware you could always crowdsource the translations/localizations, I could help with Spanish Portuguese and Korean to some extent, and I’m sure there’s people on knzk for example who could help for Japanese
the way i'm planning on doing this is checking for a given identifier after tagging OCRbot, for example, "@OCRbot arabic" or "@OCRbot jpn"
does this seem like a good idea?
