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:

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.

Hello, what does high priority means? It's been 11 months and this is not available yet.
Exactly if I would release a NEW version of a software in m company that is at least in some aspects so much worse then the old version, I would get ask to bring the of functionality back within days and not with years as it seems to be the case at Microsoft. Because nearly a year later the NEW teams experience has not changed is reduced functionality on this issue anyhow!

Hi Massimo,
Can you clarify what "high priority" means? It has already been over eight months since this response. Meanwhile, all users using miltiple languages are not getting the spellcheck feature, that worked 100% in the previous version that is no longer available.
