Spell check in multiple languages
It would be nice if it was possible to have the Teams desktop app in one languge and spell checking in multiple languge and at the same time customize date and time format.
E.g. I would like to have Teams in English, have spell checking in English and Danish, and have date and time format in "Danish".

Working with international customers requires communication in different languages. I would consider this an absolute MUST for a tool like Teams

It's a must. I'll be using Slack until it's resolved!

Wasn't the whole input language thing in Windows meant to address this issue? It has been around for quite a while, but I've hardly ever seen it being used, even in Microsoft's own products.
In my case, I have 2 input languages: US English (with the US keyboard) and Dutch (with the US International keyboard).
When I switch from one input language to the other, I'd expect the spellchecker to follow this setting. -

Here also, working in a Dutch plant of an Italian multinational we use several languages. All my English is now underlined in Teams, so basically I don't have a spelling checker. We also use Workplace, and there the transition between languages goes automatically. Therefore, we tend to use Workplace by Facebook instead of MS Teams.

French, being one of the languages of the UN, should be considered seriously!

Government of Canada works in English and French and it's really annoying to see all the text I write in French be underlined. Also, for more complex statements, I have to cut and paste into Word, correct and then cut and paste back.

This is a very needed feature. Lots of companies only implement the English office version and use local language in combination with other languages to communicate.

This really needs to happen, I'm Dutch, my team is Dutch and I have all my apps in English (because I'm a developer and it is much easier to work this way), but all of my text is marked red in teams because I'm not writing English :(

You are using a web browser to run teams, let me use Google Chrome spell checking.

Absolutely urgent! I work in 3 languages every day... Why can't you implement that in Teams if it's already in Word???

I think more important would be to add a setting to disable/enable the whole spell checking. There are some users, you know, who know how to use their language and do not need any underlining.
