OneNote (OSX) Language Proofing

This has been a known issue since 2014 and Microsoft still hasn't fixed the problem? I just purchased Office 365 and since it came with OneNote I was looking forward to using it, but within a few seconds I discovered the language issue, which is totally unacceptable. No other software behaves like this. I won't be using it, as there are plenty other excellent note-taking applications available that are not broken.

It's getting even worse.... this same "disease" has spread into Outlook for Mac on the latest update. Makes using email a ****.

Is there an ETA on this fix?

I had the same problem as I need my Norwegian keys for writing in Norwegian, but only use English in OneNote. 

I found a solution to the problem, though requiring a little tricking with keyboard layouts in order to make the mac think the layout is English. 

1. First, I download Ukelele 3.0.2 from here. Remember also to add the "Resources" folder to somewhere on your mac, as it tells you to.
2. Once the app is launched, press cmd+O, and open Resources -> Roman (given that it's a Roman language you're using)
3. Find your language, and press the "Language.." button. On the scroll menu on the top, choose English (en), and press "Ok"
4. Now, right click on your language, and chose "Duplicate Keyboard Layout". This opens up the keyboard, but don't worry about the keyboard, we won't touch anything there.
5. It should say "Untitled" on the top of the window, so just press there, and rename it to "US", and put it in a folder where you can find it.
6. Now, go to Finder. Macintosh HD -> Library -> Keyboard Layouts. Copy your new keyboard language "US" in here. It requires an admin password.
7. Log out and back on to your user account.
8. Final step: Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources.
9. Select the "+" button. Scroll down to "Others", and select your new "US" keyboard layout.
10. Ta-da :-)

Thank-you so much for this, I've been looking for a solution to this for ages and this works perfectly!

You can set the proofing language in one drive (online). Just login with the same account as your mac Onenote, go to your relevant notebook, home and down-arrow in spelling. This will allow you to set the default proofing language regardless of the keyboard installed or any other irrelevant stuff. 

As you are probably aware this works on one-note for windows.

PS 

Outlook for mac is driving me insane with this... Please MS just stop pushing us away from your software.
