Yes, that's by design.
I recommend that you click the "Help" button in the Language Support
window for a description of how it's supposed to work. Since English is
always available, a list with fallback languages would be pointless,
wouldn't it?

No, that's a misconception. If you change the user language from Dutch
to English and log out, you end up at the login screen. If you log in
again instantly, you should see English as the display language.
The display language of the login screen, OTOH, is controlled by the
_system_ language. If you change that, you do need to reboot.

As regards Chinese, there is a known issue, i.e. if you have Chinese
installed, the menu item doesn't disappear if you remove it. As far as I
know, there is no similar problem with German.
Could you please execute the command
ll /usr/share/locale-langpack
from a terminal window. If the output includes a 'de' folder, German is
installed.
If you don't see a 'zh_CN' folder, you are right about Chinese. In that
case, you should be able to make the Chinese menu item go away by
running this command from a terminal window:
sudo locale-gen --purge
Please let us know whether the above comments are sufficient to clarify
the matters you brought up.
