A few months ago I made a couple of web reports against our
warehouse data. We also have the same gasket-head/head-gasket
thing (solved by LIKE or CONTAINING in SQL), but we also have
mixed swedish/english decriptions. Same word/item, but
different language. "Screw" does not match "Skruv"... :-)

So they hav to run two reports using each language
representation of the item...
