Hi, If scanning in other languages is really a show stopper then I guess DocuScan Plus is not for you. I am convinced, however, that it is the best solution for english at the present time on the Mac. I encourage you to take advantage of their free trial and see what you think.
I use DocuScan Plus with the HoverCam which is a portable camera that works really well.
