## Card Art
### How can I change the language of displayed card images?
You need to adjust your Custom Picture Download URL to use scryfall as source and include the `!sflang!` tag.
You can change the url used to download card images to find cards in a different language.
This url template will use the language cockatrice is currently using: `https://api.scryfall.com/cards/!setcode_lower!/!set:num!/!sflang!?format=image&face=!prop:side!`.
Further details and examples can be found [here](https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/wiki/Custom-Picture-Download-URLs).
Keep in mind that you need to delete your image cache first in order to redownload the new pictures with foreign art.

Some users that run Avast antivirus report that Cockatrice stops downloading images. Avast seems to prevent Cockatrice from saving downloaded images, changing Avast's settings or disabling it should help.
