Translation for "Sprite"

[lewtds]

Hey @codeclubvietnam/translators, I personally believe "sprite" is just a synonym for "character" in Scratch. As such, it would be more natural to translate this word as "nhân vật" instead of "hình họa" like now. Do people even use "hình họa" in daily conversations?

What's your words on this?

I think "hình họa" isn't intelligibility to children. Maybe "nhân vật" is more suitable.

+1, I think "nhân vật" is easier to understand, and I think we can use "nhân vật" for sprite as objects since it is for children.

It depends on the context as well. For ex: "When you’re happy with the design, split your monster up into what will be individual sprites, such as arms, legs, head etc. Having your monster made up of separate sprites will give you better control over animation, and allow it to do several things at once."

In this case we cannot interpret "sprites" as "nhân vật", it should be "hình họa"
