Thank you so much for the reply! It is doing the trick but not quite.
At first i didnt think it worked but after trying it out in another part of the template I can see what its doing.

The code:

<div class="grid_wrapper">
          <?php
            $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
            $args = array (
                'category_name'  => 'Artiklid',
                'post_type'      => 'post',
                'posts_per_page' => 5, //showposts is deprecated
                'paged'          => $paged,
                'orderby'        => 'date',
                'order'          => DESC,
            );
          global $sublanguage;
          ?>
          <?php $cat_posts = new WP_query($args) ?>
          <?php
          // globalize $wp_query
          global $wp_query;
          // copy $wp_query into a temporary variable
          $temp_wp_query = $wp_query;
          // nullify $wp_query
          $wp_query = null;
          // move $loop into $wp_query
          $wp_query = $cat_posts;
          ?>
          <?php if ($cat_posts->have_posts()) : while ($cat_posts->have_posts()) : $cat_posts->the_post(); ?>
          <?php if (empty($sublanguage) || $sublanguage->is_main() && $cat_posts->post->post_content || $sublanguage->is_sub() && $cat_posts->post->post_content != apply_filters( 'sublanguage_translate_post_field', $cat_posts->post->post_content, $cat_posts->post, 'post_content')) { ?>
           <?php $c++;
          if( $c == 1) :?>

        <div id="viimati_ilmunud_uudis" class="post_main card" style="margin-left:0px;">
          <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
          <p class="publish_data">
            <?php the_time('d.m.Y') ?> |
            <?php echo strip_tags(get_the_tag_list('',', ','')); ?>
          </p>
          <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
          <a class="btn waves-effect waves-light" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php echo get_the_title(166) ?></a>
        </div>
        <div class="spacer"></div>
          <?php else :?>
            <div class="post_preview card">
              <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
              <p class="publish_data">
                <?php the_time('d.m.Y') ?> |
                <?php echo strip_tags(get_the_tag_list('',', ','')); ?>
              </p>
              <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
              <a class="btn waves-effect waves-light" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php echo get_the_title(166) ?></a>
            </div>
            <?php endif;?>
            <?php } ?>
          <?php endwhile; endif ?>
      </div>

This part is paginated. All the non translated posts are removed but i have to click through the pagination to get to the translated ones. Until i get to the translated posts i see only the previous and next page links and nothing else.

Im having trouble adding it into my code. Not that strong with php.

This is the code i am using at the moment

<div class="grid_wrapper">
        <?php
          $args = array (
              'category_name' => 'Artiklid',
              'posts_per_page' => 4,
              'orderby' => 'date',
          );
        ?>

        <?php $cat_posts = new WP_query($args) ?>

        <?php if ($cat_posts->have_posts()) : while ($cat_posts->have_posts()) : $cat_posts->the_post(); ?>

          <div class="post_preview card">
            <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
            <p class="publish_data">
              <?php the_time('d.m.Y') ?> |
              <?php echo strip_tags(get_the_tag_list('',', ','')); ?>
            </p>
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
            <a class="btn waves-effect waves-light" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php echo get_the_title(166) ?></a>
          </div>
        <?php endwhile; endif?>

        <a href="artiklid" id="last" class="show_more_btn"><?php echo get_the_title(172) ?></a>

      </div>

It is as i feared.

Would you have any reccomendations on how to get the functionality I am after?
