Support filtering by translated display values in Users (MAS) application

In the Users (MAS) application, users working in a non-base language can be presented with translated values in the user interface, but filtering on those displayed translated values does not return results for some columns. 

For example, when the application is displayed in Norwegian, the Status column displays the translated values “Aktiv” and "Inaktiv”. However, entering “Aktiv” or “Inaktiv” in the filter returns no records. The user must instead enter the underlying English/base-language value “Active” or “Inactive”, even though that is not the value displayed in the UI.

We request that filtering in multilingual Maximo applications support the translated/displayed value in the user's selected language, rather than requiring users to know and enter the underlying base-language value.
