 Step to reproduce:

 - Install 2 or more language packages on the website, let's say `fr_FR`
 for example 🍷 but keep `en_US` as the default locale
 - go to `/wp-admin?action=lostpassword&wp_lang=fr_FR`
 - enter a wrong email address
 - you'll be redirected to `/wp-admin?action=lostpassword` instead of `/wp-
 admin?action=lostpassword&wp_lang=fr_FR`

 We should keep the value of the `wp_lang` parameter.
 Please note that this is an accessibility issue, because language changes
 must be announced before they happen 🙂

 Please don't forget to give proper props to @byohann6 who spotted the
 issue in the French Slack team 🌟
