Could somebody tell me if it really makes sense to have more than one
fallback language?
I just can't imagine nice usability if you have more than two languages for
the same application, in my opinion it's overdesigning and confusing and for
a note I am not just bilingual :) Like that spagetty of Russian, Zulu,
Spanish and English for me hard to believe will be somehow better than
simple Ru/En or Zu/En or Sp/En, it won't be even readable unless you have
one of language present and others pretty much empty.

The only use I can think of is dialects, e.g. if you'd preferred North
English, if missing then West English then East and then West (just an
example). But how real is this?
