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,

    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.

    Hi Umar,

    I am getting the same issue here. After I upgraded to the NEW Teams, spell checking stopped working. It is currently loading just English in the list of available languages.

    Under Teams menu I only get on the General Settings to enable or disable spell checking.

    On Windows Settings --> Language & Region, I have English, Spanish and Portuguese - all enabled for typing and spell checking. I don't have any issues with other apps. This is happening just with the NEW version of Teams.

    Version:

    You have Microsoft Teams version 23285.3607.2525.937. You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 11/28/2023.The client version is 49/23101227712.

    Any other suggestions?

    Best regards,
    Ivan
