Steps to reproduce
When English (Canada) is the only language pack installed, I use Win+Shift+S to screenshot a part of the screen, and then I go to advanced paste and use "image to text".
✔️ Expected Behavior
Image to text should work without needing an additional language pack.
❌ Actual Behavior
When I use image to text I get this:

Looking at the logs I can see a line that says

.Upon installing English (United Kingdom), the above image to text works just fine. Text extractor and the snipping tool's text extract both work fine without the additional language pack.
