Description
LCID (Language Code Identifier) is a unique identifier used to differentiate fields of the same type based on language and region. It plays a key role in ensuring correct processing and display of data in multilingual documents. This standard complies with international requirements, such as ICAO-9303.
Note
LCID allows systems to process documents in different languages, which is especially important for passports, visas, and other identity documents.
Technical Details
Below is a list of the most common LCID values corresponding to specific languages and regions. These values help developers filter or display data in the desired language:
| LCID | Language | Region |
| 1033 | English | USA |
| 1049 | Russian | Russia |
| 1036 | French | France |
| 1031 | German | Germany |
| 2057 | English | United Kingdom |
| 1025 | Arabic | Saudi Arabia |
To retrieve field values in the desired language, select the appropriate LCID value from the table above. For example, if you need data in Arabic, use LCID = 1025. Similarly, for French, use LCID = 1036.
Important
Ensure that the selected LCID matches the language and region of the document being processed. Mismatched LCID values may lead to errors in data extraction or display.
You can find all LCID values in our official documentation.
