# Language animated icon

The language switches. Light: the A slides out to the left as a 文 slides in from the right and holds for a moment, then the 文 slides on out and the A comes back in from the right and settles, like flipping through a list of languages. Strong: the A pulls back before it leaves, each glyph lands with an overshoot, the 文 holds longer, and the bubble puffs about its tail as each one arrives. The glyphs cross-fade, so the bubble is never empty.
