Hello,
First of all I'm french so I hope my question is understandable ;)

I use Sikuli at work for testing a graphical application which must be in french. 
I have to use OCR features but it doesn't work very well, especially with french-specific characters
such as é, è, etc.

So, How to use OCR with a non-english language ?

I tried to put french language data for Tesseract V2 (downloaded here: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/detail?name=tesseract-2.00.fra.tar.gz&can=2&q= )
into the sikuli-script.jar/tessdata folder but it seems that changes weren't taken into account.

Sikuli version : Sikuli-X-1.0rc3 (r905)-linux-x86_64

Thanks in advance.
