Summary of the Pull Request
Fix advanced paste failing to create ocrEngine on some English language tags. (en-CA, others)
PR Checklist
Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When attempting to use AdvancedPaste Image to Text, and error was shown with stack trace in logs.
Method GetOCRLanguage compared the current language tag (en-CA) to OcrEngine.AvailableRecognizerLanguages. The returned list on my PC was en-GB, en-US. Both of these should work for OCR against en-CA.
Added check if GetOCRLanguage returned null, call TryCreateFromUserProfileLanguages. In my cases, this succeeds, however I do not know what that behaviour may lead to in other language combinations.
Validation Steps Performed
Built installer
Installed in a fresh vm with language set to en-CA
Attempted Image to Text
OCR was successful
