Hello everybody,

I was trying to edit some mp3 tags, when I noticed that the comment field isn't updated in windows explorer, although there were no errors in MP3Tag. Every other field went fine... I tried tag names such as %comment% and %description%, but no luck... Right-clicking the song in MP3Tag does show the comment, but in Windows Explorer, this information seems not to be there in any field...

What type tags. Id3v2.3 or id3v2.4 (or APE or something else).

Sounds like the problem with the language descriptor.  
Win Explorer only displays comments with the same language as your Windows system.

Read [/t/11025/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/11025/1)  
and set \_M\_STR\_ID3V2LANG to whatever language code your Windows is using.

With the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de), Mp3tag now has a new configuration dialog Options \> Tags \> Advanced which allows for the configuration of the ID3v2 comment language.

This implies, that setting the ISO language code via the language file is not needed (and not possible) anymore.

Kind regards  
Florian
