Or a "smart" view. Set a session variable before running the
query and have the (one) view return the locale'd data based
on the session variable ...

set session "mika.current_locale" = 'locale(at)2_use';

and use

select current_setting('mika.current_locale')

as needed inside the view definition

No one said it is going to be particularly convenient... You
asked for possible, I guess. :-)
