Language Problem with partly multilingual site

Hello,
my site uses plone 2.5.2, has PloneLanguageTool and
LinguaPlone installed and is currently set up for four
languages.
However, it is only partly multilingual, a lot of pages only
exist in English. These pages are marked language-neutral,
so that they can be found and read by all users (all our
users speak English). The problem can be found in articles
that exist in more than one language (thus not being
neutral), but not in all four. Swedish is one of the
languages
that only few items exist in, however, quite some pages
exist in German and English. Swedish users don't even
know of these pages as they are not shown in the navigation,
in folders, in smart folders, in the news portlet, etc...
I read in the mailing list, that fallback only works for
neutral items. Right now I only see options, that are not
very elegant,
but time-consuming and actually quite bad: 
I could translate all articles that exist in translations
into all languages of my site (if I spoke all languages...)
-> bad option
I could erase the 2 languages that only few items exist in,
making my site only bilingual -> not the best option
I could technically "translate" all non-neutral
items to the missing languages, but only copy the English
text -> bad option

Is there no other way to make Swedish users see articles who
don't exist in Swedish,
but are not neutral either (because they exist in English
and German) in English?
Of course I only translated some important articles from
English to German,
now Swedish users don't know about the important articles as
they are not displayed for them.

I hope you could understand my problem.
Maybe there is an option I don't know about.
Thanks to everyone replying,

Benjamin

Good luck  
LinguaPlone has never catered to this use case .. it
comes up every few months :-/

Hi Cinemator.


Did you take a look at:

ne

It sounds as though it is trying to solve the problem you
have. 

I don't fully understand what it does, but I found it and
thought it might
help you.

Cheers,
