Hi, I have upgraded to "New Teams". I'm writing in multiple languages in different chats. The "old" Version was automatically identifying the language and then do spelling check for this language as described in following article:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/check-your-spelling-in-multiple-languages-in-microsoft-teams-0e269374-0cac-4a22-a377-53f01e05a6d4

Unfortunately this feature does not work on the "new" teams. How can I get back this feature?

Thanks for the help. VersionYou have Microsoft Teams version 23306.3315.2560.6525.You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 12/7/2023. The client version is 49/23110231810.

    Hello,

    My name is EngineTyme, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I would be glad to help you.

    I understand that multiple languages spelling check is not working on New teams.

    If you're facing issues with spell checking in multiple languages in Microsoft Teams, even after enabling the spell check feature and clearing certain directories. We have observed this is a commom complaints among Teams user after upgrading to the New Teams. You can try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    1. Make sure that the language you want to use is enabled in Windows. You can do this by going to Settings > Time & language > Language & region > Add a language. Once the language is added, click the Options button next to it and select Download for the Language pack and Keyboard options.
    2. Confirm that the "Enable spell check" setting is turned on in Teams -> Settings -> General, and restart Teams if necessary
    3. Switch the spell check language in Teams by writing several messages in a chat or channel in a different language to activate the language-aware spell checking automatically, or by using the Language bar to switch between languages that use different keyboard layouts
    4. If you are still having problems, you can try disabling spell check in Teams and then enabling it again. To do this, go to Settings > General and scroll down to the Language section. Under Spell check, uncheck the Enable spell check box and then check it again.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or concern.

    Hello EngineTyme

    Thanks for your Help. I test everything, but spell check still not working. In the link provided from you I find out that this is not yet supported in NewTeams: "Language-aware spell checking is currently not available in the new Teams. The team is focusing on this issue with a high priority. Check back for updates" Known issues in the new Microsoft Teams desktop client - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

    Hello,
    I also tried everything mentioned but it does not work.

    MS Teams does never use the different language spell check and only sticks to the English spell check.
    I did restart teams and disabled/enable spell check again.

    Just for the record, I also tried it in Word, where it immediately recognized the newly written paragraph in the other language, and changed to that language spell check. So generally the spell check itself is working. Just not the integration in the new teams.

    This is really a feature, why I'd consider, switching back to the old teams.
    It would be really nice to have this bug fixed soon.

    I am also having the same issues. New Teams not spell checking. I've Enable Spell check/ Sign out and quit teams / Ensured it's enabled and not working.
    Went back to old teams and Spell check works.

    Opened new teams and spell check is not working. Tried disabling Sign out and quit and back into new teams / Enabled Spell Check and signed out and quite and back in and still not working.

    Please fix.
