Well, as noted in the article, the fix is primarily for new documents.
For existing ones, you may have to resort to manually specifying the
correct language from ToolsLanguageSet Language. Alternatively,
paste the contents (except for the final paragraph mark) into a new
document, which has correct language settings.

I have followed all the instructions in this link and still the
language
keeps changing back to US English. Any further advice would be much
appreciated!
Thanks for your help.
