Research direction

Start by reproducing the flicker in Redis Insight using the listed path: Settings, change the application language, create a database, connect, and open the side menu. Trace the side-menu and language-change flow to identify the UI update that causes the flicker; done means the menu opens normally after changing languages without the rest of the interface flickering.
