I am daily using several languages.
It seems that Microsoft Edge supports spell check: red lines appear under words detected as not correctly spelled (actually: non-English words), and the software even attempts to correct the spelling of the words typed.
This is irritating to have a word being modified because Edge does not understand other languages.
How can I add a change the spell check language?
Alternatively, how can I disable the (broken) auto-correction feature?

You can't change this on the fly, but you can change this as often as you like. There's two ways to get to this menu
Or:
Then, click Add a language, or if you've already added a language, you can re-order the list of languages you have chosen so that your preferred language is on top.
From here you can add whichever language you want. The reason I say you can't do this on the fly is that Microsoft Edge will need to be restarted before it will detect your changes.
To disable spellcheck, go to Settings, type "spell check" (without quotes) in the search bar and hit Enter, and then you will see the option to disable highlighting or autocorrecting of misspelled words. Again, Microsoft Edge will need to be restarted before it will detect your changes, if you have it open when you make these changes.
