The plugin's functionality is divided into separate modules (links lead to their documentation):
- [Environment variables](https://max-games.ru/plugin-yg/doc/envir/?en){.external} allow retrieving platform SDK data about the user's device, such as language, operating system, or browser.
- [Authorization](https://max-games.ru/plugin-yg/doc/auth/?en){.external} enables leaderboards and payments integration. However, the game must remain playable without authorization (see [item 1.2](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/requirements.md#1-2)).
  The authorization module provides access to user data like nickname or avatar. It's also required for certain modules like Leaderboards or Payments.
- [Languages](https://max-games.ru/plugin-yg/doc/lang/?en){.external}:
    - [Game localization management](https://max-games.ru/plugin-yg/doc/lang/?en){.external}: automatically switches the game's language based on the platform's detected language.

      {% note warning %}

      The game must be translated into at least one language selected when submitting the draft (see [item 1.2](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/requirements.md#2-10)). We recommend adding [localizations](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/languages-and-domains.md#languages) for ru, en, and tr.

      If the game language is manually selectable, please note Game requirements [item 6.9](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/requirements.md#6-9).
