My problem is, that in this case the content object is ommitted from the
navigation and folder content display completely, if there is no
translation for it for the current language. So there seems to be no easy
way for the user to even recognize the content and maybe provide a missing
translation for it.

This way of "fallback", i.e. having content created as neutral and adding a
translation with addTranslation(), causes two "translations" to be present,
a neutral one of the empty language and a real one of the added language.
The result are possibly two entries in the navigation and folder listings
for the same content, namely the neutral "fallback" one and the real
translation for the current language, if it exists.

Either way is not quite, what I want. Is there any existing or planned
functionallity in LinguaPlone to address my problem?

Thank you,
David
