Is there another way to change lyrics language than manually changing the language identifier "eng||" in the lyrics field?  
For eg. I use polish as default Mp3Tag language but "english" identifier always appears when I insert new lyrics, so I have to change it to "pol||" each time. I've tried to change the "LANGUAGE" tags for my polish songs to "pol" or "polish" but it didn't help. Couldn't find anything in Options settings.

Close Mp3tag. Go to the %programfiles%\Mp3tag\lang folder and open the .lng file of the language you have selected in Mp3tag.  
Search for  
\_M\_STR\_ID3V2LANG eng  
and replace with  
\_M\_STR\_ID3V2LANG pol
