I am using YAML myself to manage my CV in two different languages. Using a convention like "description(en): ..." the different translations are co-located making it easier to keep everything in sync.

Interesting example that I hadn't considered. But, since Typst is a programming language, there are lots of ways the same thing could be achieved directly in the language. E.g.:

    // Change this to switch languages
    #let selectedLang = "en"
    #let lang(..arguments) = arguments.named().at(selectedLang)
    
    #workinfo(
      position: lang(en: "Senior Developer", es: "Señor Developer"),
      etc...
    )
