Awesome
Icon picker dialog
A fully customizable icon picker dialog that provides easy access to quality icons without having to include them individually in your project. Icons are bundled in icon packs, which are distributed as separate artifacts. Icon packs are defined by XML, each icon consisting of an ID, a SVG path, a viewport size, a category and a list of tags for searching.

might be deleted either on purpose or by mistake. Make sure to always handle null icon values
when obtaining an icon by ID!
<sup>1</sup> Dependency uses the following pattern com.maltaisn:iconpack-<NAME>:X.Y.Z, where <NAME> is the
name indicated in the table and X.Y.Z is the version. Icon packs use the same version
as original icons.

Translation
Some icon packs are not meant to be translated. These icon packs are auto-generated from files provided by the people who manage the original icon collection. Tags don't make any sense in a language other than in English, and thus cannot be translated. The scripts used for auto-generation are available in the utils module.
The default pack tags can be translated. With over 1,000 labels it takes between 3 and 5 hours to translate (in my experience). A collection of images with the icons for each label can be downloaded here to help with translation.
