How can I easily switch my Editor languages in Outlook

Hello,

I have the same issue - I need to switch between English and Czech (or even German, and Slovak) 10 - 20 times per day and it would be great to have the option to choose my favorite languages and switch between them by some shortcut.

Even more, after some updates, I cannot change the language at all. It is stuck in English and I can't change it in the settings.

I hope that Microsoft fixes this ASAP, because I can't find any polite words to describe how I am unsatisfied with it :-(

Thanks,

Miroslav

Hello

I'm using Outlook app - with the switch of the "pre" outlook on.

It's happening always, as I'm constantly switching languages, I work in Dutch, French and English.

Current version is Windows 11, 22H2, build 22621.1848

I'm applying the steps you mention above, and applying these 5 clicks everytime when I type an email, it's cumbersome. Parce que maintenant, ma réponse est ecrite en Francais , car mon collègue est francophone en dan kan het zijn dat ik gewoon terug even iets afcheck met een Vlaamstalige collega. :-)

So I'm asking for a one-click solution that Outlook applies the language grammar of the language I'm writing in.

Regards,

Johan

Hi Jason

And how would this solve the grammar and suggestions issues that I currently have pls? Changing keyboard layouts is not natural (as my keyboard does not change).

Again, and you can see people replying to this post, they also work in different languages. I understand that with the US or UK it's hard to imagine that within one e-mail you use 3 languages, and this is reality in a lot of European countries. I master 5 languages, and it's a joy to work with colleagues in their own language. Writing in those languages without being able to change quickly, makes outlook show the wavy red line , which is useless, because it's (mostly) correct what I've written, the system just doesn't recognise it.

We need a one-click solution or a key short cut that we can use to switch between languages (incl. grammar & spelling checker)

Regards

Fully agree on this one. Feels like we took a 20 year step back in time when working in the latest webmail that I am using. Following the steps to manually change in the browser is not an OK solution. How can it not be solved to easily change between languages? This has been working in lots of MS products for years...

Please work on a solution for this Microsoft.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the help, but after having defined the 3 languages I use ( German, French, English) with my keyboard layout, I wasn't able to see how the langage bar selection have any influence on the editor with Outlook.

+1 on the need as expressed by Johan to have a one click (or a shortcut) to switch between language tools in outlook, such as the one at the bottom of Word windows for instance.

Thanks again,

Alex
