Description

What would be the best way to store localised names in an UFO. In Glyphs the value is `localizedFamilyName = "German;Neuer Name"`.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how glyphsLib currently maps family names from Glyphs source files into UFOs, then compare that with the UFO representation available for localized names. The issue's German localizedFamilyName example should guide the expected behavior; done means the storage and conversion approach is documented and agreed upon.
