I’m glad KDE Plasma has been upgraded to 6.6. However, I’ve found that the screenshot tool’s OCR doesn’t support Chinese characters, and the documentation doesn’t explain how to configure it.
The backend OCR tool is Tesseract:
Check out that.
But my guess is you are missing a language package. If you do
pacman -Ss tesseract
in Arch you get a loooooong list of language packages. Install the correct one and my guess is it will work.

Thanks for your reply. Arch Linux Users can enter the following commands:
sudo pacman -S tesseract-data-chi_sim
Unfortunately, the Simplified Chinese recognition engine is not as high-quality as expected.
Tesseract has a pretty comprehensive troubleshooting page here:
If all else fails, you can always submit bug reports or suggest changes here:
Tesseract is free software. It helps if users take on an active role and help out in the cases the main developers cannot cover.
