Same here. It does not show up for me in Powerpoint 2016. Has it stopped functioning?

Sorry. I unisnstalled and reinstalled and voila, it is there. Love the functionality. However, it does not seem to change the language inside tables...

With my powerpoint it's not working, also not after re-installing. Office 365, PowerPoint Version 2106 (Build 14131.20278) It doesn't show up in any menu tab nor in the addins.

VBA Workaround:

Option Explicit
Public Sub ChangeSpellCheckingLanguage()
    Dim j As Integer, k As Integer, scount As Integer, fcount As Integer
    Dim sld As Slide
    Dim shp As Shape
    Dim ntp As Shape
    Dim san As SmartArtNode
    Dim lang: lang = msoLanguageIDEnglishUS
    
    For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For Each shp In sld.Shapes
        
            ' change lang in every shape (text boxes etc.)
            If shp.HasTextFrame Then
                shp.TextFrame2.TextRange.LanguageID = lang
            End If
            
            ' change every smart art text box
            If shp.Type = msoSmartArt Then
                For Each san In shp.SmartArt.AllNodes
                    If san.TextFrame2.HasText Then
                        san.TextFrame2.TextRange.LanguageID = lang
                    End If
                Next
            End If
            
        Next
        
        ' change lang in every notepad field
        For Each ntp In sld.NotesPage.Shapes
            If ntp.HasTextFrame Then
                ntp.TextFrame2.TextRange.LanguageID = lang
            End If
        Next
    Next
End Sub
