Getting 'default' translation for a translation that doesn't exist

I'm trying to develop a database driven translation site in cakePHP.

When I'm setting the Model locale or Config.language to a language
such as de-de like below:

Configure::write("Config.language", "de-de");
it loads the correct translations of de_DE from the i18n table.

My problem is, if the translation does not exist for another row, it
doesn't return anything. Is there anything you have to setup so if it
doesn't find anything, it returns the 'default' language translation
or the data directly from the Model??

I think it's too much work to stay checking all the time if data is
returned and if not changing the locale/language settings all time to
the default language you want..

Or maybe I'm doing this wrong?
