How to change the spelling language in `gnome-text-editor`?

After I have installed `hunspell-en_us`, `aspell-en`, copied `en_US-large.dic` to /home/username/.config/enchant/en_US.dic and restarted PC, I unfortunately still don't see any option to chose the spelling language.

Re: How to change the spelling language in `gnome-text-editor`?

Crazy, I asked `chatgpt-4o-latest-20241120` (I used Chatbot Arena (formerly LMSYS), it's free and u can select other LLMs or host your own, like the SOTA LLM Qwen2.5 32B Instruct Q6 quant, which should fit in most PC's VRAM+RAM) and it actually fixed my issue: One has to right-click inside the text editing area and select Spelling and Grammar or Language (translated from my lang it would be translated into Languages. (Unfortunately this entry is not in the main Preferences menu). The `gnome-text-editor` folks made a GUI that is harder to use than if the settings were simply in the main Preferences menu..well done guys..not.
