That's what I thought too in my first i18n projects, but it's really not that bad. It actually even shortens the amount of text sometimes.

Flexdash should be able to access the RED object at anytime, right? Calling the RED underscore function should be all that needs to be done...

This is how I access it in my Dashboard nodes:
