Sometimes it's also necessary to localize sprites in games. We've created a convenient method for adding sprite variations for different languages without any unnecessary complications while keeping the rest of your project unchanged.

{% note info %}

To enable sprite localization, you need to create translation files for all the languages you need.

{% endnote %}



## Adding animations {#animation}

To create a localized sprite, simply add new animations with your desired [language codes](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/languages-and-domains.md) to the sprite's animation list.

Create a sprite, add a new animation with the required language code, add the graphics. The final result should look similar to this.

{% note warning %}

Make sure there are no extra animations in the sprite with names that don't match any [supported language codes](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/languages-and-domains.md). Otherwise, the plugin will skip your sprite during localization.

{% endnote %}

Now, when we click the play button (preview), we'll see that our sprite automatically changes its animation to match the player's current language.
