# OCRLanguages

A comma-separated list of languages to load, for OCR, when Media Server starts. Specify a list of ISO 639-1 language codes. For a list of supported languages and their language codes, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide.

Using this parameter to pre-load languages can increase throughput when you run many `process` actions that complete quickly. This is usually the case when you process batches of images. You must still set the Languages parameter when you configure an OCR task. If an OCR task requires languages that are not pre-loaded, the languages are loaded when the task begins and unloaded when the task ends.

Micro Focus recommends that you set this parameter when you expect to run many OCR tasks that will recognize text in the same language(s).
