Hello Walter,

In a word, No. The multilanguage support is for the data in the column not
SQL syntax, AND OR and NOT are keywords in SQL if we allowed the syntax to
be different based on locale, Microsoft Word used to have such a scheme BTW,
SQL scripts written for one locale could'nt be used on a different platform
with a different locale. This was the case for Word macros written in the
localized API, they wouldn't function on an English only platform. I used to
work with this stuff when I did localization for AT&T Business Translations
and let me tell you it was a nightmare.
