FR 15 is a bit overwhelmed.
1. Under Document Language, you want to select the dropdown, then "More Languages...".

2. Choose "Specify Languages Manually", then check the checkboxes for which languages you want to detect:

For example, I use this:

Code:
English; German; French;
This allows Finereader to detect ç, or other accented characters.

Note: Don't go too overboard with languages though. Finereader uses this to look up dictionary words + add certain letters in the alphabet. The more languages you add, the more likely there will be false positives.

For example, "der" is a German word, but isn't an English word, so an English OCR error like "un der" will be considered okay (since it'll think it's German).
