Abstract

A computer readable medium, system, apparatus and method are disclosed for generating and regenerating query results in reports whereby conditions for filtering a query against multilingual databases are preserved independent of language and/or locale. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer readable medium includes executable instructions to specify a language-dependent value for filtering query results during a query. Other executable instructions are included to associate a first locale to the language-dependent value, determine a key based on the language-dependent value and on the first locale, and generate a transformed query, which can include a locale variable configured to indicate a second locale for regenerating the query results to form regenerated query results for the second locale using another language-dependent value.
