if you see above link, there is supported languages for Layout.

there is no Kannada (code : kn) . Is there any plan to add it?

please check.

Answer 1

Kannada (kn) is currently supported by the Document Intelligence Read model for language detection, but it is not listed as a supported language for the Layout model.

The language support page states that:

• The Read model can detect Kannada (kn) among many other languages.
• The Layout model explicitly lists its supported languages, and Kannada is not included in that list.

The provided documentation does not contain any information about future plans or timelines to add Kannada support to the Layout model. For the latest status, the language support page for document analysis models is the authoritative source and should be checked periodically for updates.
