Process multilingual documents

Kofax ReadSoft Entrance is a Unicode application. This means that you can use the same database to process documents in different languages, even if they use different code pages.

Important

  • Use document profiles with the correct language in the Character set settings.
  • Note Document classification using the <SYSTEM> document profile assumes the modern basic Latin alphabet (letters in the English alphabet). Thus, the results are poor if fields like OrderNumber or PONumber (which are used to differentiate between general expense documents and purchase order documents) contain non-English characters.

    If an external system is subsequently used to parse the text files, the correct code page must be used. (XML output and output via the Entrance API use Unicode. In such cases there is no need to consider the code page.)

  • If you transfer document data to text files, those are saved in ANSI format using the code page that you specify in the Transfer job description. If an external system is subsequently used to parse the text files, the correct code page must be used. (XML output and output via the Kofax ReadSoft Entrance API use Unicode. In such cases there is no need to consider the code page.)
