You can export tag data to a text file with an export (see the help: [Exporting Tag and File Information – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/export))

You can import tag data from a text file with  
Convert\>Text file - tag  
or an action of the type "Import text file"  
([Import Text File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-text))

Why would one want to translate

isn't that a name that stays as it is?
