Looking at the "Content selection mode" of Advanced settings in administer » settings i18n

I guess it would be helpful to have the choice between AND and OR

Currently, your choices look like this
Only current language and no language
Only current and default languages and no language
Only default language and no language
Only current language
All content. No language conditions apply

My favorite setting would be
Only current OR default languages
or
Only current OR default languages OR no language
(so that it's either the translated node, which is showing up, or the default language node)

or do I miss an easier way to get there?

Actually, the ANDs here really mean the OR you describe...

So "Only current language and no language" means both "current language" and "no language" can be displayed.
In fact the "no language" version will be displayed when there is no "current language" version available.

that's not, what I see on my test site.

current and no = current AND no;
four languages are enabled.
if a node has a language assigned, it show's perfectly well if I switch to that language.
if this node is translated, it show's twice: the current language node and the no language assigned node.

a perfect setting would be
if current language exists current language
else default language

I think you guys are mixing what is programming strict logic with user level /plain English.
For most people it's easier to understand the way it is now, I read it in some usability book ;-)
