Little fact about multilingual List Values.....

For a mu;tilingual site I saw an interesting moment that can result in a problem.
When you create a dropdown list cb_field (i.e.), you enter your data in two columns: Value, Label.
Then you translate Label's data in other langs...
And then in a Userlist you create a filter: cb_list EQUAL TO "one of the values":
Here comes the problem: if the word Specialist is the same in Value and Label and you translated it in other langs, then the filter will only work for english, but not for other langs, appearently because the word "Specialists" will be translated and it's this translation that will be used in the filter.
So to not encounter this problem: better name the Value as:
_Specialists (with the underline in front i.e.)
and the Label as:
Specialists

Is my vision right?

That is correct. Filters are passed through substitution and language parsing (allows for language specific filters). Stored values should not be language strings.
