The i18n helper is quite simple in what it does. If it does not find a
target translation it will simply return what was passed.
You have a few of ways to get round this:
1. Write your own (override the) __() function So it checks if the
string returned is identical, if it is - then you can invoke the i18n
call again with the culture set to "en". So instead of loading helper
i18n, you load myI18n (or whatever)
2. Extend the sfI18n class (change in factories.yml to yourI18n class
and extend sfI18n) - change the behaviour there
Probably a few others - but the bottom line is that the symfony i18n
helper does not support what you are trying to do, as the "normal"
behaviour is to write your __("key") using the fallback language. This
has much less overhead than falling back to an entirely new catalogue
every time a string is not found.
