How can I change the language of a OneNote section (or page/notebook)
I have a OneNote section in a notebook named "Personal" and some pages in this section. I can't change the section (or page or notebook) language. I tried changing the Office default language from the language settings but that didn't help.
Is there a way to change the language of an OneNote section, page or notebook. It's really annoying because every time I start typing something new, it sets the proofing & spelling language back to the old default language.
It appears that it might be tied to the input language I've chosen from the windows control panel. In that case, is it possible to decouple the OneNote section/page language from my input language because I really don't want to change my input language and keyboard layout.

After some testing I can confirm that OneNote always uses the input language set in the Region and Language control panel.
However, you can combine any input language with any keyboard layout (at least in Windows 7), so the (hopefully temporary) fix is to add a new input language combined with the original keyboard layout.

Thanks for the hint that I can add additional keyboard layouts to an input language. It solves the problem good enough for me.

While this works to some extent, I also found another workaround: Set the first text box of your section to the desired language, and when you want to create another section, type out the first few letters in your text box that's already in the desired language and then use the drag/drop handle to move it to where your new text box should be. It'll retain your desired language.

The easiest way to set the language for a section in the OneNote 2016 app (requires Windows 10) is to CTRL+A the section, then open the context menu with right-click, click Set Language and pick your language. This approach unfortunately does not work with the OneNote 2016 version included in the MS Office package and therefore is not directly applicable to the described situation above.

The OneNote in your image is the app version included with Windows 10. Have you tested this with the version of OneNote included with MS Office? OPs question is from before OneNote existed as an app and before Windows 10. It would be helpful to add some lines to your answer noting that you answer requires the app version and therefore Windows 10 and is not directly applicable to OPs situation.

In OneNote for Store, there's no such thing as Tools / Review.

The OneNote in your image is the app version included with Windows 10. Have you tested this with the version of OneNote included with MS Office? OPs question is from before OneNote existed as an app and before Windows 10. It would be helpful to add some lines to your answer noting that you answer requires the app version and therefore Windows 10 and is not directly applicable to OPs situation.
