Details:

There is some bug in the macOS code that makes it pick the wrong language if
multiple languages are configured. The observed behaviour seems to be that the
first non-English language is picked. The proper behaviour should of course be
that English is picked if that is the user's first choice.

Note that this situation can easily happen as macOS will install extra
languages automatically when new keyboard layouts are added.
