Daniel Smyda commented on TIKA-3207:
------------------------------------

The tesseract executable itself doesn't seem to validate the language pack input.

> Some language packs available on Tesseract's [github|https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata] support vertical orientations of Chinese (chi_sim_vert and chi_tra_vert). Trying to specify them via TesseractOCRConfig.setLanguage(String language) results in an exception because the regex is not expecting another underscore in the name.
> {code:java}
>     /**
>      * Set tesseract language dictionary to be used. Default is "eng".     
>      * Multiple languages may be specified, separated by plus characters.     
>      * e.g. "chi_tra+chi_sim"
>      */
>     public void setLanguage(String language) {
>         if (!language.matches("([a-zA-Z]{3}(_[a-zA-Z]{3,4})?(\\+?))+")
>                 || language.endsWith("+")) {
>             throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid language code");
>         }
>         this.language = language;
>     }
> {code}
> What is the reason behind validating language options?
> Either way, I'd be more than happy to supply a patch. Thank you.
