Hello Jitka :) I remember You from our discussion about my performance

I'd love too. But I'm not creating new App with i18n, I'm trying to
make existing App to be i18n'ed,
So I need to leave this fields because they suppose to be my default
translation as long, as translations
are not present.

I wanted to avoid that. When I add another field to be translatable -
need to update the Quick add operation, and
supply those translations to all elements (like I described in comment
above). It's not the really my favourite dont-need-to-do-too-much-when-
stuff-changes-because-cake-takes-care-of-that way ;)

I think my question should have been "But I don't know how to make
$locale variable an array globally?" ;)

Yes, It seems to be the only way.
But It's rather $this->ArticleVersion->locale = array( Configure::read
('Config.language') );
But I'm quite lazy, and don't want to travel through all my
Controllers and Models, see where I have
{anyModelWithTranslateBehavior}->find(); and supply this code before.

Do you think overriding the constructor in AppModel like this:
function __construct($id=null, $table=null, $ds=null) {
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
$this->locale = array( Configure::read('Config.language') );
}
Is save? It seems to work for me: it finds rows with translation
supplied just for one field and as a bonus: it reads those original
fields (that which should be virtual, but can't be in my case) when
there's no translation. But I don't feel comfortable when messing with
modules Ii don't completely understand :S
