Spellcheck keeps jumping to English despite choosing Dutch all over the place as main language

 


Hi,

I'm facing an issue with Microsoft Word on my PC. Despite setting Dutch as the primary language in all possible settings – as recommended by various forums – the spell check keeps defaulting to English. This problem does not occur on my laptop, where I can seamlessly switch between Dutch and English.

On my PC, I've tried repairing the app, reinstalling it, and removing other languages from the settings, but nothing seems to work. Even when I manually select text and set it back to Dutch, it fails to stick. This issue has become so frustrating that I'm considering cancelling my subscription.

I've already gone through numerous forum posts and help articles, but nothing has resolved the issue. I would really appreciate some specific assistance.

Thank you.
