I’m not on jmap list, but I have to say that their proposed approach is much 
more complicated to decode by standard json decoders. I would say don’t do it.

> Current approach
> The current scheme in the spec defines a LocalizedString object for fields 
> that can be localized. A LocalizedString has a value and optional localized 
> variants of this value:
> "addresses": {
>   "addr1": {
>     "city": {
>       "value": "Tokyo",
>       "localizations": {
>         "jp": "東京"
>       }
>     }
>   }
> }
> The idea is to keep values and their localizations close. It is built on the 
> assumption that the majority of values will have localized variants.
> 
> Proposed approach
> Multiple participants in the interim meeting vouched for replacing the 
> current approach with the one defined in section 4.6.1 
> <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984#section-4.6.1> of the 
> JSCalendar RFC. That is, the "localizations" property is a JSON object where 
> the keys are language tags, and the values are patch objects which overwrite 
> one or multiple properties within a contact.
> 
> A main benefit  of this is to reuse for the same approach in both JMAP 
> calendars and contacts. It treats localized content as the exception, not the 
> norm, and the data types should reflect this. Any property value can be 
> localized (except if the spec explicitly forbids it). In contrast, only 
> values of LocalizedString can be localized in the current approach.

> This an example how to localize a single address field:
> "addresses": {
>   "addr1": {
>     "city": "Tokyo",
>    }
> },
> "localizations": {
>   "jp": {
>     "addresses/addr1/city":"東京"
>   }

> To fully localize an address, one would write:
> "localizations": {
>   "jp": {
>     "addresses/addr1": {
>       "city": "東京"
>     }
