> SUMMARY
> In the "Languages for OCR:" option in Spectacle the languages selection is
> not verbose enough if you have one or more tesseract-data packages for the
> same languages.
> 
> Example for German (the same is true for e.g. Danish):
> tesseract-data-deu: /usr/share/tessdata/deu.traineddata
> tesseract-data-deu_frak: /usr/share/tessdata/deu_frak.traineddata
> 
> In the Spectacle settings they are both listed as "Deutsch", so you have no
> way of knowing which is which.
> 
> STEPS TO REPRODUCE
> 1. Install all tesseract-data packages.
> 2. Go to Spectacle -> General settings.
> 3. Scroll in the "Text Recognition (OCR)" list until you reach "Deutsch".
> 
> OBSERVED RESULT
> Deutsch
> Deutsch

> EXPECTED RESULT
> Deutsch
> Deutsch (Fraktur)

In German translation database and especially in translation files for
Spectacle I can see English string „Languages for OCR:“ and its translation,
but I cannot find any Strings for „Deutsch“. I suppose those names/titles for
OCR data are coming from *.traineddata files or from some metadata from
Distribution …
