How do I proceed when I want to show another language when the actual language is deactivated? I have two languages (German and French).
In my sections I have German enabled as default language. French is off by default. 

My Problem is: 
I always want to show content, even if the other language is disabled and, when an entry is not translated yet, show a note like "Entry not translated yet." 

I know about localeEnabled and status and I can query the following way: 

{% set entries = craft.entries.section('referenzen').localeEnabled(false).status(null).find() %}


That outputs all of the entries.
But I am running into problems with the "_entry" template. 

And I don't really know how to differentiate between entries that have their status turned off vs. entries that only have a language turned off. 

Does anybody have a solution to this problem? 

Cheers

So thanks to Brad I found this solution: 

{# Get all entries regardless if the locale is enabled or not #}
{% set allEntries = craft.entries.section('yourSection').status(null).localeEnabled(false).find() %}

{# Set the other locale (could be done differently, but since I have only two, I chose the easy way) #}
{% if craft.locale == 'de' %}{% set otherLocale = 'fr' %}{% else %}{% set otherLocale = 'de' %}{% endif %}

{# Get all entries that are not disabled regardless if the locale is enabled or not #}
{% for entry in allEntries if entry.enabled == 1 %}

    {# if the locale is turned off, search for the entry in the other language #}
    {% if entry.status == 'disabled' and entry.localeEnabled == 0 %}

        {# Get the same entry in the other locale #}
        {% set otherEntry = craft.entries.id(entry.id).locale(otherLocale).first() %}

        &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="{{ otherEntry.url }}"&gt;{{ otherEntry.title }} ({{ otherLocale|upper }})&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

    {% else %}
        &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="{{ entry.url }}"&gt;{{ entry.title }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
    {% endif %}

{# else (for the loop) all the entries are disabled #}
{% else %}
    &lt;p&gt;No results&lt;/p&gt;
{% endfor %}


It works great for my case.
