How to change the recognition language

Using Google vision from here I was successfully able to create a client and an image using vision.Client() and client.image(content=data) respectively. And then send my image using image.detect_text(), attempting to read the digits within the image. however Google-vision has been inaccurate and I heard, from this question, that by setting the language to another (non-latin) language would help with this.

But that is where I am stuck, I'm not sure where to set the languageHints, and yes I have seen this link to the documentation of the AnnotateImageRequest, but I am still confused as to where this comes in.

image_context = vision.ImageContext(language_hints =["en"]) response = client.text_detection(image=image, image_context=image_context)

I am not an expert in this but the following seems to work for me:

First you create an image_context object, as follows:

image_context = types.ImageContext(language_hints =["en"])

Then you call text_detection with the image_context you created as parameter, as follows:

 response = client.text_detection(image=image, image_context=image_context)
