My mac switches the keyboard language automatically

My mac switches the keyboard language automatically after I type a capital letter, or a sign like " or -. It all started after I updated my software to "Catalina". I tried to check the preferences but I can't find anything. It mainly happens when I write in Pages or Word, but not on Chrome for example. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and knows how to solve this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

It will not wipe your data at all.


When you power off your machine you need to hold Command + R keys on keyboard and tap power button to power ON, keep holding them down until progress bar will be half way through and then release. It will take you to Utilities.


Then just choose reinstall MacOS and it should be fine.
