Hey @sarilutfiyarahmatika - It looks like you are using a service called ocr.space to do this detection so this would be something to check in their docs rather than ours.

If you take a look here:

> **[Free OCR API](https://ocr.space/OCRAPI)**
>
> Free OCR API. Code snippets for calling the REST API. The OCR API takes an image or multi-page PDF document as input.

it says that you should append `&language=ARA` to your queries if you want to specify a language other than English as the input

Hope that helps!
