    Thank you tristaanogre  and LinoTadros  for the suggestions. 
    As you mentioned either we need to raise a ticket for DEV to improve these points. Secondly, limiting our tests to only one or two languages seems to me a good and easy solution at the moment (if the stakeholders agree).

I wouldn't shy away from using contentText.  It can help distinguish one object from another with some judicial usage.

Ya, that is clear. But what about multilanguage applications ?
In the application that I am testing has language switching option. And every customer has his own language library. That would be last option to do object recognition and validation with text content. (That too with multiple OR gates with different translated texts for each language).
Is there any other thing we can do to reduce this kind of maintenence effort in future?

    I wouldn't run all functional test on all the languages.  I'm assuming changing language doesn't change functionality.  If you need to automate the checking languages, I would limit that to a few, just to make sure that the translation code is working.  For that, you can use conditional mapping to use OR logic for properties.
