# Languages supported by Document Intelligence

The Document Intelligence application provides support for documents in different languages.

**Important:** Starting with the Zurich release, Document Intelligence is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the Deprecation Process article \[[KB0867184](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0867184)\] in the Now Support Knowledge Base. Instead, you can extract information from documents using the Now Assist in Document Intelligence application. For more information, see [Now Assist in Document Intelligence \(Legacy\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/now-assist-in-document-intelligence/docintel-nowassist-landing.md).

The language model configured for a use case allows Document Intelligence to detect data in documents, make predictions for field values, and further train the model in the selected languages.

Select the language model when creating a document extraction use case. For more information, see [Create a document extraction use case](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/document-intelligence/create-tasks.md).

The following table lists the languages supported for Document Intelligence along with the models used to support them.

|Model|Languages|
