Default language cards output to multi-lang templates

[jds43]

Hello,

I have a multi-lang template (English and Spanish) where title, summary and body are translated. This template has many children in default (English) language and I need to output fields from these as cards on the Spanish page.

Is this even possible?

I see that activating languages for this child template works for populating the cards, but I'll be deleting and re-importing a sizable list every few weeks and will need a way to activate the Spanish name for all. Should I not use the Import Pages by CSV module and opt for another solution?

This will activate Spanish by template:

if($page->activate_spanish == 1) {
    $imported_producers = wire('pages')->find('template=producer');
    foreach ($imported_producers as $p) {
	    foreach (wire('languages') as $lang) {
		    if ($lang->isDefault()) continue;
		    $p->of(false);
		    $p->set("status{$lang->id}", 1);
		    $p->save();
	    }
    }
}
