The class name FallbackLocaleList suggests it's a list, but it inherits from Hash. This is misleading since the class behaves more like a locale resolver than a collection. Consider renaming to LocaleFallbackResolver or FallbackLocaleResolver to better reflect its purpose.

If SiteSetting.default_locale returns nil, calling .to_sym on it will raise a NoMethodError. The fallback chain should handle the case where SiteSetting.default_locale might be nil before calling .to_sym. Consider adding a nil check or using &.to_sym safe navigation.

[locale, SiteSetting.default_locale&.to_sym, :en].uniq.compact

The @loaded_locales instance variable is initialized here but also initialized in the load_locale method (line 59). This duplicated initialization logic could lead to inconsistency. Consider initializing @loaded_locales once in an initialize method or at the class level to ensure consistency across methods.
