Multiple language spell checking is not working in Microsoft Teams

Spell checking in multiple languages is not working in Microsoft Teams as described here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/check-your-spelling-in-multiple-languages-in-microsoft-teams-0e269374-0cac-4a22-a377-53f01e05a6d4

It has happened after the installing new Teams desktop app on my Windows 11 (details below). Setting in Teams -> Settings -> General -> Enable spell check (requires restarting Teams) is enabled and Teams was restarted.

Unfortunately clearing following directories did not solve the issue:

%temp%,

%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams

%localappdata%\SquirrelTemp,

My Teams version is:
You have Microsoft Teams version 23257.2620.2442.7817.

You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 10/17/2023.

The client version is 49/23092912307.

Hello Umar.

This is actually a Known issue for the New Teams : Language-aware spell checking is currently not available in the new Teams. The team is focusing on this issue with a high priority.

    Hi

    Thanks for the replay Umar and all the hints. Actually already tried all of this, without success unfortunately. Either figure it out myself or found in the Internet.

    Issue came after installing the latest version of Teams for Business and it's in Teams only - all multilanguage spell check works in other apps, when switching keyboard layouts.

    Do you have any idea how could I report this issue to Microsoft?

    It is clear the multilanguage is not working for th New TEAMS on July, 2024 and it does not make sense to put in production a program with basic open issues.

    But the worse than thar is to remove the old version and force the users to suffer the issues.

    I have remove the spellchck option form TEAMS. It is impossible to work with all the chats underlined in red.... terrible...

    Hi,

    Then maybe Microsoft should stop trying to push "New" Teams out.

    You know, NOT take away functionality with an "update".

    Hi,

    Same behaviour also form me.

    I've tried the NEW Teams several weeks ago and found this issue, moving back to the CLASSIC experience which was working fine.

    Today I was forced to update to the NEW one and the issue is still there, which is a huge issue.
