jep, thats exactly what it should do: 
"If a translated page is around use it, if not use the english one.

Then:
If no english page in the same group is around use the translated page of the 
sitegroup, if no translation is around in the sitegroup use the  english one

oky, the idea is that some pages that are used for skinsections (site 
header/footer, sidebars, ...)  have local versions. But if there no local 
version is around the default (english language) should be displayed. 

The standard  way in pm is:
1. use the page in the same group, if not avalible  . . ..
2. use the one in the sitegroup."
 
Now I try to bulid:
1. use the translated page in the translated group
    $[{$Group}.SubjectDirectory] => Gruppe.Themenverzeichnis

2. use the default(english) page in the default(english) group
    {$Group}.SubjectDirectory => Group.SubjectDirectory

3. use the translated page in the translated site group
    $[{$SiteGroup}.SubjectDirectory] => Site.Themenverzeichnis

4. use the default(english) page in the default group(english)
    {$SiteGroup}.SubjectDirectory => Site.SubjectDirectory



If a whole wiki should be translated page per page it could look like this:
1. use the translated page in the translated group
    $[{$Group}].$[SubjectDirectory] => Gruppe.Themenverzeichnis

2. use the default(english) page in the default(english) group
    {$Group}.SubjectDirectory => Group.SubjectDirectory

3. use the translated page in the translated site group
    $[{$SiteGroup}].$[SubjectDirectory] => Portal.Themenverzeichnis

4. use the default(english) page in the default group(english)
    {$SiteGroup}.SubjectDirectory => Site.Themenverzeichnis
