Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ciur/papermerge/issues/144

I just installed Papermerge via the linuxserver/papermerge container.

I see only English int the admin settings and in OCR as weel.

How should I do to make it work with french language ? I tried to add OCR_LANGUAGES (eng, fra) and OCR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE (fra) in my docker variables with no effects.

Thanks for your work !

Thanks for your answer, but the thing is that I'm not a specialist with docker, and I use the linuxserver/papermerge container which I run like this :

docker create \
  --name=papermerge \
  -e PUID=myid \
  -e PGID=groupid \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/appdata/data:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/papermerge

So I don't understand where I should add OCR_LANGUAGES and OCR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE .. as there is only one container.
Are they just variables that I should add like this :

docker create \
  --name=papermerge \
  -e PUID=myid \
  -e PGID=groupid \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/appdata/data:/data \
  -v OCR_LANGUAGES:eng,fra \
  -v OCR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE:fra \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/papermerge

Cause I already did that with no effects :-/

-e XYZ=xyz is a way of passing environment variables and these lines:

  -e PUID=myid \
  -e PGID=groupid \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \

looks like the way linuxserver's guys configure application. From Papermerge application point of view both configuration variablesOCR_LANGUAGES and OCR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE need to be placed in file named papermerge.conf.py which is supposed to be in project directory.

You need to open a ticket on linuxserver's docker image for papermerge and ask them how are you supposed to configure application from within their image.
