Filter by values of a translated column

Hello Power BI experts!

I am trying to use Field Parameters to implement translations in Power BI, as described here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guidance/data-translation-implement-field


It's working great, except for one thing!

I would like to be able to apply a page-level filter to a report based on the value of a translated column. For example, if I'm translation the ProductName column, and I've selected the language 'English', then 'tomato' is one of my product values. I would like to apply a page-level filter to my report, so that I only see rows where ProductName is 'tomato.' I've seen lots of examples of this behavior using slicers, but none using more traditional report filters.

Is there a way to do this? (Or, is there any official documentation saying it isn't supported?)

Thank-you! This a great resource! 🙂

Unfortunately, I don't think it addresses my specific use case. My question is specifically about the use of field parameters. If I have a field parameter that I'm using to select one of several columns, I'd like to add a page-level filter in the filter pane that will allow me to filter the values of whichever column is selected by the field parameter. (A pretty niche requirement, I realize!). 

Is there a way to do this, or documentation that shows why it can't be done?
