If you want to translate Mp3tag, just install the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) in your preferred language and copy the file English.lng from from the `lang` directory in Mp3tag's program directory to \.
Please note, that the order of the keys in this file must be preserved (`_C_ABORT` then `_C_ABORTING` and so on), that placeholders like `%artist%`, `%album%` should not be translated. Other placeholders like `{1}` and `{2}` are filled with data at runtime and have to be preserved too.
The language file is encoded with UTF-8 with BOM (Byte Order Marker).
Please don't hesitate to ask, if there are any questions!
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Florian
