InDesign spell check defaults language to Indonesia. Preference language is set to English USA.

Question

Environment: Mac OS 11.5.1InDesign: 16.3.2Macbook Pro 13" M1 InDesign language is set to English USA in preferences. However when I run spell check, the language is set to Indonesia. I attempt to reset the "dictionary" (Edit > Spelling > User Dictionary) to English, however it does not function. I attached a screenshot of my dialog boxes. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a fix? Am I missing something with my settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I

Language settings within a document are a Character-Level setting.

Check your paragraph styles and your character styles to see what language is applied.

Further, you can use Find/Change with nothing in the Find and Change to fields -fill in the language you want in the advanced Character formats, and change all.
