Same issue here, app switched to dutch as default. There is no option to switch to English anymore in the dropdown.
Until it fixed, there is a workaround for macOS: select "Auto detect" and change app languge in System settings ➜ General ➜ Language and Region ➜ Applications
This will be fixed in the next release
thx for the fix
