Translation Issues on Customised Reports

Hoping someone can help!
I have customised the detailed AR & AP report to exclude journals for the purposes of producing a cash flow forecast for the business. This works perfectly if you use NetSuite in English. Unfortunately if you use it in any other language the report doesn't exclude journals as the word journal has been translated into the local language and NetSuite therefore no longer recognises the filter.
Given that the filter is based on the transaction name, my expectation would be that NetSuite should still recognise the filter despite the language difference?
I have requested that this be logged as a defect but I have been told that it can only be an enhancement. Essentially this means that I am going to have to learn all of the languages that we operate in so that I can create the reports individually for those countries so that I can get the group data that I need.
