- On Windows, first, in the gImageReader about dialog, check which version of tesseract is used.

- If using tesseract 4.x, go to https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast.

- If using tesseract 3.x or older, go to https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata.

- Then, in the branch selection button, under tags, select the version which is less or equal the tesseract version in use. Then download the desired language definitions (*.traineddata along with any supplementary files which certain languages need) and save them to Start→All Programs→gImageReader→Tesseract language definitions.
