Hello  
I'm new to using Tags and I'm facing a problem with the "comments" tag  
I fill in the "Comment" Tag of a file under MP3Tag but the windows explorer shows me an empty "Comment" Tag.  
How do I solve my problem?  
Thank you

Set the options to write the comment in the language of your Windows GUI  
See Ctrl-O \> Tags\>Advanced  
For "German" it would be "deu"

Windows Explorer needs the comment language set to the language of the Windows version that is running. Otherwise, the comments are simply not shown.

The ID3v2 comment language can be set via **File → Options → Tags → Advanced** and needs to be set to `fra` on a French Windows installation.
