Add Latvian language

Could the Latvian language be added for tesseract ocr - short code - lav

Yes sure!

Docspell has a date extractor that looks for month names of all languages to get dates like "23. september 2019" – would it be possible maybe for you to provide me these names? And while I'm at it :) maybe also what date format is most used, like dd.mm.yyyy or a different one? That would make it easier for me to add support for these patterns in latvian for date extraction. Thank you!

Edit: For reference, the current list is here

These would be the month names:

English - Latvian - Latvian short (with the dot at the end)

January - Janvāris - janv.
February - Februāris - febr.
March - Marts
April - Aprīlis - apr.
May - Maijs
June - Jūnijs - jūn.
July - Jūlijs - jūl.
August - Augusts - aug.
September - Septembris - sept.
October - Oktobris - okt.
November - Novembris - nov.
December - Decembris - dec.

Regarding the date format, the most widely used short date format would be dd.mm.yyyy and long format YYYY. [gada] D. MMMM ('gada' means 'year' (in specific conjugation) and it is common to include it in full format for date in Latvia.)like this:

2020. gada 30. jūlijs
2018. gada 10. maijs
2020.gada 30.oktobris
