> American English is not fallback language to British English even if they're

I'm afraid that's not a correct statement. American English is definitely an
acceptable fallback language for British English because they're actually the
same language; "British English" "and "American English" are mutually
intelligible because they're dialects of the same basic language with only
extremely minor differences between them.
That said, Han is right that you shouldn't have any non-English languages below
English as it doesn't make any logical sense given the way translation
fallbacks work. This list is a priority queue that essentially lets you choose
your preferred workaround for the current state of KDE's translation were we
don't have 100% translation coverage. Here's what you've essentially told the
system to do:
"Try your best to display text in British English, but if you come across any
piece of text that isn't available in that language, look for a German string,
and if you can't find one, look for a Chinese one, and if you still can't find
one, just display the original text in plain old American English".
Clearly that's not what you wanted. :) What you wanted was this:
"Try your best to display text in British English, but if you come across any
piece of text that isn't available in that language, just display the original
text in plain old American English."
Given this intention, you can actually remove all the other languages from the
list since their presence doesn't make sense. As Han said, you don't need to
add other languages into here to use them in specific use cases. This config UI
is for determining what language you want the user interface of your programs
to be localized.
