Use .po files. See here:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/161/Internationalization-Localization

A big heads-up, though: when using the __() function for form labels,
pass true as the second param.

echo $form->input('YourModel.field', array('label' => __('some string,
true));

Use this same pattern anywhere that you need the translated string to
be returned, rather than echoed.
