@lokesh-stack I had similar problem too. I resolved it by downloading the raw tessdata.

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/blob/master/eng.traineddata?raw=true

can some one help me with following error:

lokesh@Biu:~$ tesseract /home/lokesh/Desktop/tess_imgs/1.tif ~/Desktop/out -l foo Failed loading language ‘foo’ Tesseract couldn’t load any languages! Could not initialize tesseract.

Re-download traineddata from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata didn’t help
Checked again it fails with all large traineddata files, more ~20mb
It works from console if i simply run tesseract imagefile output -l chi_tra
And it works on windows machine Any suggestions ?

Make sure the environment variable TESSDATA_PREFIX is set to your tessdata directory! (for ex. C:\msys64\mingw32\share\tessdata).

Did anyone try out with changing locale, as suggested in Tesseract issue?

export LC_ALL=C
