I have attached the translate behavior at a model and inside the controller in order to limit the fields queried I try to set the fields using:

$this->paginate['fields'] = 'Product.id, Product.category_id,...';

However, when trying to add a translatable field by adding it at

$this->paginate['fields'] = 'I18n__title.content, Product.id, Product.category_id,...';

I get

SQL Error: 1054: Unknown column 'I18n__title.content' in 'field list'

Found the answer.
I should add the fields as an array instead of string

It should work if you supply the fields as an array. String fields are not parsed, as SQL is complicated.
