title: "Changes to the icon translations schema"
---
The icon translations schema has been adjusted to allow assigning icons for [sections in services](/docs/dev_101_services/#grouping-of-service-action-fields).
Icons for services should now be provided according to a more explicit schema, which allows specifying icons for sections.
This allows specifying service icons like this:
```json
"services": {
"test_service_1": {
"service": "mdi:flask",
"sections": {
"section_1": "mdi:test-tube"
}
}
}
```
The old format is supported during a deprecation period of one year, to give time for custom integrations to migrate to the new schema:
```json
"services": {
"test_service_1": "mdi:flask"
}
```
See [core PR #124656](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/124656) for implementation details.
### Impact on custom cards
Icons data sent to the frontend will always be according to the new format, custom cards displaying service icons need to be adjusted.
