This is phased as "If A or B, then C or D, if E".
So, what happens if A? What happens if B? You can't really tell...
Logically, if there no no language configured on the site, then there's no site default to return, so you'd get an empty string. But it takes a fair amount of picking that sentence apart to see that.
This should be rewritten in several sentences, and ideally with bullet points to explain what happens.
