Thanks

Advanced Character Formats for Styles:
- Double-click each style and choose Advanced Character Formats to set the language.
Be aware that the Language property could be overridden, so it's not a guarantee for the same language for all text.
Additional Suggestion:
- Follow the steps in this article for additional guidance.
