LanguagePicker

Code

Even though multiple languages are installed on Edge, German being one of them, when we try to select it it doesn't come up in suggested languages.
When we change the Language property in code, display language does change, as shown in picture, however, it doesn't seem to apply to spellcheck.

Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered
Generally we are looking to have selected language be applied with spellcheck as well. Is this a feature that exists but I am missing it?
If it is in fact impossible to select a spellcheck other than English, this feature would be really useful.
