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

    Editor settings doesn't exist.

    Can't find a proofing language box.

    "When drafting an email, select the (…) overflow menu on the simplified ribbon, or Editor on the Classic ribbon.

    Select Editor > Editor Settings."

    No way to find out the "Editor Settings" when directly answering/forwarding an e-mail. 

    You can set proofing language only if you "Pop Out" the editing message and go to the Review tab.

    Same problem for me. I need a 1-click or a keyboard shortcut solution to switch language when starting to write an email

    Hi,

    I've combed through the thread and not seen a viable solution, but I did find one that I believe solves the problem.

    File>Options>Language

    Bottom half of screen is for "Office authoring languages and proofing" and you can add whatever language(s) you need and once you restart outlook, you're good to go.

    Hope this helps!

    Respectfully,

    Andrew
