I'd rather use siblings and synchronize the language folders.
So if a new file under /de/new.html is created and /en/new.html does not
exist, OpenCms could automatically create /en/new.html as sibling of
/de/new.html. I'd prefer this approach. You could add a listener for
this or simply write a synchronisation class to accomplish this task.

And you still have to solve the problem with empty language content, 
e. g. if /en/new.html now exists, but has no content, what should be displayed?

As somebody already mentioned, a good solution would be folder siblings,
but this won't be available soon.
