Hi, if the only problem is the use of the terms, 'fallback' and 'backup' I'd change 'appropriate fallback choices' to 'appropriate alternative languages' or 'appropriate alternative language choices'  maybe; I don't know about West and Northwest really I'm confused try Atlantic coast?:

 

"It does not contain information about appropriate alternative languages (in language negotiation).  A good alternate might in fact be linguistically unrelated to the language it serves as an alternate for.  This is because the preference for a particular language alternate is often the result of outside factors--such as geograpphy, history, or culture--factors which may vary from user to user.   For example, most people who use Breton (a Celtic language used in Brittany/on a portion of the Atlantic coast of France) would probably prefer to be served French (a Romance language) if Breton isn't available."

 

(hope I've used 'alternate' and 'alternative' correctly).

 

Best,
