I took a screenshot of some Khmer text while using iOS 17.5 and MacOS Sonoma. However, when I pasted the screenshot, the text appeared in Thai instead of Khmer.
This is Khmer tex
when I pasted the screenshot, the text appeared in Thai instead of Khmer
iPhone 12, iOS 17
Are those two texts the same thing when translated?
Do you see this problem in any Apple app like Safari or Messages? Or with any other sender in the app you are using there with the Khmer text?
It's not the translation that's the issue!
The problem occurs when we copy the Khmer script from a screenshot or image and paste it into a text editor, as it displays in Thai instead of the copied text.
The main problem of this, is because Neural Engine in Apple Silicon chip cannot recognize Khmer script so it confused and matched the script to the most similar script that it could recognize and the result it displays Thais script like this. So, we gotta need Apple team to develop the OCR system to recognize Khmer script or on the other hand, just let it unrecognizable, not to display Thais script like this.

Do you have that happen when you paste it into Pages or Notes? I don't.
if darachan1 is correct, you will need to send Apple feedback:
That is the only way to make sure it gets to the developers.
I took a screenshot of Khmer text on iOS 17.5, MacOS Sonoma, but when I pasted it, it appeared in Thai.
