Description
Hello.
I am using a custom docker image with Russian and Ukrainian language packages for tesseract installed, following instructions: https://docs.papermerge.io/3.0/setup/add-ocr-langs/
Dockerfile:

FROM papermerge/papermerge:3.1

# add Ukrainian and Russian OCR languages
RUN apt install tesseract-ocr-rus tesseract-ocr-ukr

Info:

Papermerge Version [e.g. 3.1]
In the container are added languages:

# docker exec -it papermerge bash
# tesseract --list-langs
List of available languages in "/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/tessdata/" (11):
deu
eng
fra
ita
nld
osd
por
ron
rus
spa
ukr

I see these languages in OCR languages list but can not choose and Run OCR
