Very stupid question: how come you recognize Ukrainian?  That's
uncommon, and a system switching to Ukrainian (rather than, say, the
more common Russian) unprompted for is also uncommon, so there might be
some correlation (like you trying out a setting once).

A different hunch would be that, well, "UK English" and "Ukranian" are
both "UK" in some manner.  If you chose to install a "UK" language pack
(or switch to it) it might have meant something different from what you
intended.
