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.

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.
Same issue here. Swedish spellcheck dosent work in new teams, but in in the classic it works fine
Another user checking in here. There is no spell check option in the new Teams, and I can only select one language. When typing in another language it gives me the red lines underneath every word which makes writing in that language somewhat annoying.
Hoping they include an update that allows multiple language spellchecking.
Chiming in on this issue. Used to have multiple dictionaries available in classic Teams (French and English) but only English in the new one. Will probably revert back to the old app until this is fixed.
