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?

Hello,
I use 2 languages and it is always a problem with the new outlook.
I now use google g- mail and very easy yo switch.
function just came back no idea how I did that.
I think what the multilingual community is asking for is to bring back the feature of defining with marking+right mouse click the language you are currently typing in (used to be a feature) - and of course the better alternative to automatic detect the language you are typing in ([from the shortlist you define] used to be a feature as well- that only sometimes needed to be overwritten with the right click mouse define language).
Hiding or disabling such functionality is frustrating to those that write multilingual emails (sometimes switching language between paragraphs). For us hard to understand how that's not a problem for everyone.
This reply works for classic ''Outlook" - but not the 'NEW' outlook, which you promote as better. It doesn't have file, or overflow dots, in the ribbon..
Please help.
