Translation: finding records without a translation

Hi,
I am using the cakePHP translation behaviour for a project and after
my initial enthusiasm I encountered some of its shortcomings. For
instance, when I have a model, e.g. Article with a translated field
"description", querying the model I will always get an empty result
when there are no translations for this field. I guess this is because
of some inner joins in the sql query. For example in a controller
action:

$article = $this->Article->read(null, $id);

will get an empty result even if there is a record with the id, but no
translation for the field "description". Of course, I can always
unbind the translation like this:

$this->Article->unbindTranslation();
$article = $this->Article->read(null, $id);

getting the data of the untranslated article. But this leads to some
very complicated an lenghty code.

Is there any other way around this?

Greets,
mark
