We used to do this with an item table and an attrib_item table. All the texts are stored in the attrib_item table. I don't see any reason to store default text in the parent - after all, what is default for one person is something another always has to change. The language can be detected from the http header or by user selection (which may then be cookied) and an appropriate query used to serve up the required text.
Now we exclusively use po files via the p28n component - http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/p28n-the-top-to-bottom-persistent-internationalization-tutorial It will automatically detect lang from the http, creates and reads cookies and has hooks for configuration. So long as ALL your charsets are UTF-8, you can throw anything you want into po messages.
