Allow to use @team and @channel on multi-byte (Japanese language) environment.
Allow to use @team and @channel on multi-byte (Japanese language) teams environment.
They don't work anymore and we have to use @チーム and @チャネル. The flow to put them in is "@" > "switch input mode to multi-byte" > "ti-mu" > "convert into Katakana" > "Enter".
They are inconvenient and @team and @channel are simple and better to us.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to announce that Microsoft Teams now support @team and @channel in both localized language and English. The feature change is currently being rolled out, and it is expected to be completed by the end of March.

■Description(内容):
事前の予告もなく突然動作が変更され、社内での運用を変えなければならず大変困っている。
こちらの動作について、元のとおり、アルファベットでメンションができるようにしてほしい。
We are very troubled with Teams’ behaviors because the operation was suddenly changed without prior notice. Therefore, we would like this behavior to be like it was before when alphabets can be used for @mention features. -

I don't know why such a change.
It is very strange. -

I prefer both Japanese and English method can be used.

Due to a design change and language setting, we currently cannot use @mention for @Team、@channel in English. I would like you to revert the previous setting for @mention feature that we can use it without depending on language setting.
If you set the language in Japanese, we can use @mention in Japanese character, “@チーム”.or “@メンション”. -

@channel doesn't work in Japanese language environment anymore.
In those cases, we need to type @チャネル instead of @channel.
But @channel command should work regards any language settings.
