This may help a few people:

I upgraded to 0.20g directly from 0.18g, skipping 0.19d. My language switched to German not Polish. Recovery to English is the same, though: press 5,1,1,4

I don't think the update actually "changes" the language setting. I leaves your setting unchanged at the language position in the menu selected.

In 0.19d, English is in position 3. In 0.20g, Polish is in position 3 and English has been "bumped" to position 4. Anyone using English in 0.19g would now get Polish.

In 0.18g, English is in position 2. Position 2 is German in 0.19g and also 0.20g, which is why I ended up in German after the upgrade, and why updates from 0.18g to 0.19d result in English becoming German.

I suspect that if your chosen language is French or German, then the language won't change after an upgrade because the position of these languages in the menu hasn't changed.
