            Bug ID: 317486
           Summary: Okular and Document Languages
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.16.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

As far as I know currently Okular can't determine language of opened documents.
It would be nice to have such a feature at Okular. This feature may help in two
areas:

1. In text based documents: can be implemented e-book devices like built-in
dictionaries (

2. In image based documents: can be developed simple OCR tools to convert
selection, one page or entire document to text ( http://i.imgur.com/02xC46E.png
)

I don't sure but probably doing this not a big deal for PDF, ePUB, MOBI, etc.
Can be obtained from some values of documents. But I don't have any idea for
CBR, CBZ, etc. Maybe following may help for this type files:

1. An option to (temporarily) define the language of the current document can
be added to the menu. For example: File > Document Language > English

2. A fallback language like KDE text editors' fallback encoding feature. If a
user read mostly English comics she/he can set English as fallback language, If
she/he likes manga then it can be setted to Japanese.

Reproducible: Always
