Ok for the record this is how I finally did it :

/*.... */
$parentNodeID = 42;
$language     = 'eng-GB';

/* Fetch parent node to get the path string */
$parentNode = eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( $parentNodeID, false, false );

/*
 Get the node ids
 Query relying on ezcontentobject_name.real_translation with crappy IN( SELECT... ) statement 
 to avoid playing with language_mask (too many combinations)
*/
$sql = 'SELECT t.node_id FROM ezcontentobject_tree t, ezcontentclass c, ezcontentobject o 
WHERE 
    c.identifier NOT IN("'. implode('", "', $excludeClasses ).'" )
AND c.id = o.contentclass_id        
AND o.id = t.contentobject_id    
AND t.node_id = t.main_node_id    
AND t.path_string like "'.$parentNode['path_string'].'%"    
AND o.id NOT IN( 
      SELECT contentobject_id FROM ezcontentobject_name WHERE real_translation = "'.$language.'"
    )
    ';

$db = eZDB::instance();
$result = $db->arrayQuery( $sql );

$nodeIDs = array();
foreach( $result as $row )
{
    $nodeIDs[] = $row['node_id'];
}

/* Retrieves eZContentObjectTreeNode objects */
$nodes = eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( $nodeIDs );

/*....*/

This will get you all main nodes for objects that don't have an english version under the node whose id is 42.

Hi Hugues, and thanks for sharing the solution,

From the top of my head and without having at hand, right now another solution, i can only tell that this

...
AND o.id NOT IN(       
   SELECT contentobject_id FROM ezcontentobject_name WHERE real_translation = "'.$language.'"    )    
';

can be of an issue in case of a large content base, perf-wise.

Exactly ! I should have warn about this potential issue

I was convinced there was a way to make a SQL query that gets records not matching a join but can't figure out how to do this with MySQL.

It's runing fine so far with about 22 000 record in ezcontentobject_name

Another point about ezcontentobject_name's real_translation and content_translation fields : Those two fields looks like storing the same data so I just took one of them... Not a very scientific approach I admit.

mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ezcontentobject_name WHERE content_translation != real_translation ;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 0 |
+----------+

Why not joining on the ezcontentobject_name table ?

SELECT t.node_id FROM ezcontentobject_tree t, ezcontentclass c, ezcontentobject o, ezcontentobject_name oname 
WHERE c.identifier NOT IN("'. implode('", "', $excludeClasses ).'" )
AND c.id = o.contentclass_id        
AND o.id = t.contentobject_id    
AND t.contentobject_id = oname.contentobject_id
AND t.node_id = t.main_node_id    
AND t.path_string like "'.$parentNode['path_string'].'%"    
AND oname.real_translation != "'.$language.'"

With this one objects with another locale than $language will be returned, but even if they also have a $language version.

Ok here is the right way to query, using this time the language mask and no mass destruction sub select.
