Our organization use English as OS language, but most people write Danish in the Teams chat.
Since OS language is English, spell check in Teams is also English.
How can we either change language to Danish or completely disable spell check in Teams.
It must be an automated way, using GPO or Regedit. Since we have +400 machines, It cannot be a manual job

Sorry, at present , there is no official document provide the effective way to disable the spell check in bulk for Teams client.
Could you please refer to wolw6789's advice in the following article on how to turn off the spell checking in MS Teams:

2022-09-15T12:17:35.087+00:00 So, if I edit the <setting.json> file and change the setting to ""spellcheckerDisabled":true"" it will disable until next reboot.
So if I make a GPO that copies the <setting.json> file from a file repository to the local machines on each reboot, the problem should be fixed?
Can the <settings.json> file from my machine work on all other machines, or does it contain information specific for me?
