The list you are getting is a set of preferred localizations, so when trying
to get a resource from the first one, if not available, will go on to the
next one and so forth.
You should utilize the localization-aware methods to handle getting
resources rather than trying to manage this yourself. There's really only
two reasons I've encountered a need for this kind of granularity, the first
where you're forced to use a set of legacy resources that you're unable to
move into the right places, and the second a localization utility.
