Check if Sharepoint Richt Text Editor Field is empty or not

Today I had some problems to do a check wether a Rich Text Editor field is filled in or not. 
I found out that sharepoint also translates the Title of the Rich Text Editor field. 
That was really unexpected because the iframe is dynamically constructed in the browser. 
So you would expect that changing the MUI language would translate the 
Title propertie of the RTE field.
So for Frensh, Dutch and English MUI languages you could do the check like below.

var scomments = "";
if (_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage == 1036) {
    var systemDescriptionRTE = $("textarea[Title='Comments']").closest("span").find("iframe[Title='Éditeur de texte enrichi']").contents().find("body");
    scomments = $(systemDescriptionRTE).text();
}
else
{
 if (_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage == 1043) {
        var systemDescriptionRTE = $("textarea[Title='Comments']").closest("span").find("iframe[Title='RTF-editor']").contents().find("body");
        scomments = $(systemDescriptionRTE).text();
    }
    else
    {
        var systemDescriptionRTE = $("textarea[Title='Comments']").closest("span").find("iframe[Title='Rich Text Editor']").contents().find("body");
        scomments = $(systemDescriptionRTE).text();
    }
}

Check if Rich TextField is Empty

Last week I had some problems to do a check wether a Rich Text Box is filled in or not. 
When doing a check on the Text propertie of the TextField, 
I found out that Sharepoint puts default something in the TextField. 

Like it or not, but it's really frustrating that you can't use the JQuery test .isEmpty().
So after some testing, I found out that Sharepoint puts a Paragraph tag in the TextField. 
So here under you can found out how I did the check wether a Rich TextField is filled in or not. 
 

if( ($(ctl00_m_g_6e043a15_d2d5_4e91_a8c6_562e51fe3b46_ff121_ctl00_ctl00_TextField_inplacerte).text() == "") || ($(ctl00_m_g_6e043a15_d2d5_4e91_a8c6_562e51fe3b46_ff121_ctl00_ctl00_TextField_inplacerte).html() == "
?
") )
    {
        alert('Please fill in the Rich Text box field !');
        return false;
    }
