US and German version of AE not compatible

I often work with colleagues using the German version of AE.

Unfortunately, when I pickwhip to different expressions, in the expressions are language-specific, so they do not work correctly.

Does anyone have a solution where I do not have to relink every pickwhip to the German-language version  by hand?? This is extremely tedious and impractical for long-term cross-language file sharing!!!

 

Ex. of an expression that does not translate or function in German AE:

 

transComplete = effect("Dissolve - unmelt")("Transition Completion");
maxDistort = effect("Dissolve - unmelt")("Maximum Distortion");
easeOut(transComplete, 0, 100, maxDistort, 0)

To add to the comment above, you can create indexed-based expressions by adding the alt-modifier when you pickwhip from one parameter to another. 

You can also use this script at your last step, https://aescripts.com/expressionuniversalizer/ 

Worth every penny.

You need to use universal expressions (using indexes instead of property names)
