Hi, I am trying to figure out if there a chance to something simillar to AE api in PPRO api when it comes to appling the effects - by using match names instead of the matching the app language

I am currently using QE:

var EFFECT_NAMES = {
  "Alpha Adjust": {
    en: "Alpha Adjust",
    fr: "Réglage alpha",
    de: "Alpha-Einstellung",
    es: "Ajuste alfa",
    it: "Regolazione alfa",
    pt: "Ajuste alfa",
    ja: "アルファ調整",
    ko: "알파 조정",
    zh: "Alpha 调整",
    ru: "Настройка альфа-канала",
  }, 
...


var alphaAdjustEffect = qe.project.getVideoEffectByName(
      EFFECT_NAMES["Alpha Adjust"][lang]
    );

however I am looking for more robust approach 

Thank you

There is no better path to applying effects, in ExtendScript. 
In our UXP extensibility efforts, we plan to support the match name, for effect application.
