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.

    As it seems this issue is confirmed multiple times in for new version of Teams. Does anyone know how to contact Teams app development team to verify they're aware of this issue?

    Hi - another Teams user who provides guidance to colleagues. I can see if a word is spelled incorrect (in English) however, previously could right click and select correct spelling. With the new teams you do not get that option.

    Is this resolved yet, as i do not see it working on teams yet?

    Teams is forcing me now to use the new version, as the old version does not want to stay active anymore.
