What do you have in the boxes for "Region", "Time format", and 
especially "System locale"? Do you have "Apply System-Wide" for the latter?

In "Language Support", what happens if you try to install, for example, 
"English, Ireland" or "English, Canada" (you might need to install a 
supporting pack). I note, however, that in mine, where "English, United 
Kingdom" is the installed language, all the "English, xxxxxx" packs have 
"Some language packs are missing" against them - including English, 
United Kingdom!

There seems to be a possibility of uninstalling language packs. Even if 
you had a Timeshift backup, if "English, United States" was uninstalled, 
and you selected "English, United Kingdom" as your installed language 
would it simply default back to that after running Timeshift if it 
couldn't find another installed language? I'm only mentioning that as it 
seems to me you'll need to have a Timeshift backup in case something 
goes wrong, unless you're willing to reinstall 20.3 from scratch.
