Review -> language -> language again -> language preferences -> advanced -> there is a button: Automatically change keyboard to surrounding language (turn it off)
100% WORKS!!
Turn off the option to "Detect language automatically" at Review > Language > Set Proofing Language.
I recommend that you create different styles for different languages, and apply styles explicitly whenever you need to switch to a "new" language.
Thank you.

I turned off "Detect language automatically" but Word still detects languages and changes the keyboard language to the detected language as if I had not done anything.

Hi,
Turning off the option won't affect existing documents. These must be dealt with one by one.
Here is information about creating such styles and about assigning keyboard shortcuts to the styles.
