How can I show a field always in the same language?

I have a structure field which I always want to show in a certain language because the content is identical in both languages.
I already used translate: false in my blueprint to make this field read only in another language but how can I render this field always in the default language (de)?

This is my structure field:

          veroeffentlichungen:
            label: Einträge
            type: structure
            translate: false
            columns:
              veroAuthor:
                  width: 1/4
              veroDescription:
                  width: 3/4
            fields:
              veroAuthor:
                label: AutorIn
                type: text
                width: 1/4
              veroDescription:
                label: Beschreibung
                type: textarea
                buttons: false

My html/php markup:

$veros = $page->veroeffentlichungen()->toStructure();

<?php if ($veros->isNotEmpty()): ?>
    <?php foreach($veros as $item): ?>
        <li class="pl-item">
            <p>
                <span class="caps"><?= $item->veroAuthor() ?></span>, <?= $item->veroDescription() ?>
            </p>
        </li>
    <?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif; ?>

I already tried something like $verosDe = $veros->translation('de'), $verosDe = $veros->translate('de')

That should happen automatically. When a field is empty in a non-default language, Kirby falls back to the default language.
