How can I easily switch my Editor languages in Outlook

Hi,

I am working in three languages. This means that one mail I am writing in one language, the next one, I will be replying in a different language. The current way of working is that I always manually select the text and indicate the language I am using. This is quite tedious; it would be easier when I can easily change it in one click or one keyboard shortcut.

Does someone know a solution for this inconvenience pls?

Windows 11, new Outlook design, with Editor active.

Regards,

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    Nothing works, it is amazingly North America-centric, one language fits all! ARGH

    THIS is actually the solution that works for Outlook! I don't know why Microsoft is hiding the button to accept the change in language.

    Please add this feature also to the editor-settings used in Edge and the editor-settings used for the other Microsoft products.

    Yes, I agree but a little issue with the design... Here is how it looks there:

    Temporary help with this issue - no buttons are visible to approve or cancel the language change. Actually, buttons are there and you can get to them by clicking TAB.

    I can't change the language on my editor. It kept going back to the Netherlands - Dutch and I don't speak Dutch. It's annoying coz I don't want it to highlight my Dear XXX.
