## Code
This example uses [built-in internationalization](https://cloudscape.design/get-started/for-developers/internationalization/) to provide common UI strings. If you don't use this feature, you should provide the following properties:`ariaLabels`.
```jsx
import * as React from "react";
import Cards from "@cloudscape-design/components/cards";
import Box from "@cloudscape-design/components/box";
import SpaceBetween from "@cloudscape-design/components/space-between";
import Button from "@cloudscape-design/components/button";
export default () => {
return (
<Cards
ariaLabels={{
itemSelectionLabel: (e, i) => \`select ${i.name}\`,
selectionGroupLabel: "Item selection"
}}
cardDefinition={{
<Link href="#" fontSize="heading-m">
{item.name}
</Link>
),
sections: [
{
id: "description",
content: item => item.description
},
{
id: "type",
content: item => item.type
},
{
id: "size",
content: item => item.size
}
]
}}
cardsPerRow={[
{ cards: 1 },
{ minWidth: 500, cards: 2 }

items={[
{

},
