Hi,
This could be very confusing to many languages, especially to RTL, non
Latin and languages that do not have capital letters as putting such
note (Captcha consist of English letters 'A' - 'Z' only) will not be
vary understandable for them ('A' -'Z' would seem to them as 'a' - 'z')
as they do not have the concept of capital letters even if they do have
the Latin keyboard installed.

Would it help if Capital letters will be used instead of small ones?
And maybe there will be text like: Captcha consist of English letters
'A' - 'Z' only ....

Dear Friends,
My users, some of whom use non-Latin alfabets, have no problem
with using Latin letters in the captcha.
My current problem with the captcha, shared by my users is that
the characters are often hard to recognize. Capital I vesus small
l. Or capital I verus ]. Or m versus n. Or g versus q. Often,
the letters are sufficiently deformed so as to be difficult not
only to Robot, but also to Robert and other humans to
distinguish. As a result, several captchas are often needed till
a person can get it.
Granted, it is a terrific tool for teaching folks how to have
patience, highly recommended. But sometimes, folks are under the
time pressure to enter the meeting (now, why do they try to
connect only in the very last minute, that's a separate question)...
Thank you.
Robert

the bad news: there seems to be no universal way to determine
alphabet by language
the ugly news: there are languages without alphabet ....
start and end character can be manually specified here
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-web/src/main/webapp/languages/languages.xml
Another option might be to made this range _optional_
so 'a' - 'z' will be used if else is not specified ....
Not sure is someone will bother to specify different range ...
but I'm not sure how good is this idea :(((
@Robert what kind of difficulties your user have with the captcha?
