Changing the display language of Windows will not be a big Help, as I'm writing in more than one language.
Well, I am writing in more than one language as well. My suggestion, based on experience, is to set the most frequently used language as the default proofing language in Word. That same language should also be the display language in Windows 10. The connection between proofing and display is a bit peculiar, but it certainly improves the situation here.

If one and the same document contains more than language, using character styles will be efficient. These can be applied using keyboard shortcuts in Word.

In other words, there should be no need for macros.

Again, agreeing with Stefan and urging you to try character styles.

Yes, character styles is a great idea (including the language in a paragraph style doesn't seem to work). But with the mouse using a macro is even faster (one click on the button in the quick access toolbar), expanding the style gallery takes two clicks
