How to set a not default language in the spell checker in Teams.

My Windows 10 is installed in the English language.
In the chat function in Teams, I sometimes had to Chat in the dutch language.

The Dutch language pack is installed. In Word and Outlook I can set the proofing language to Dutch.
How can I set the proofing language in Teams from English to Dutch?

    Only language settings you have in Teams are through the settings menu in your user profile in Teams. There you can choose the language for the Teams App and the keyboard, but nothing about the spelling so it inherits the default language configured in your OS

      Hi there jcgonzalezmartin My language settings under General are set to English for both the App and the Keyboard but recently I noticed that the chat box was "thinking" in French (expecting French and showing corrections needed in French). I checked the keyboard setting and they're correct. How do I fix? Thank you!

        Same issue here. MS Teams used to automatically detect and change proofing language between French and English, but now it is stuck in French mode
