Should not have a TLAN tag (or maybe an empty one). Sorted under "eng" but found under both "eng" and "ita". "eng" and "ita" - since the main part is still English ( not "ita" and "eng") A duet sung in English, with many Italian parts:.Sorted under "ger" but found under both "ger" and "eng". "ger" and "eng" - since the main part is in German ( not "eng" and "ger"!) A German song with some lines of English in it:."per" for "Persian" and "ger" for "German" - most foreigneirs would probably not know about "far" meaning "Farsi" (the Persian language) and "deu" meaning "Deutsch" (the German language).Īlso, there are songs out there sung in more than one language, so these should be found/sorted according to whatever is in the tag (i.e., "ger" and "eng" should be sorted as "German" since that comes first, but found as "German" and "English"). In the interest of most people understandig it, I strongly opt for only using the bibliographic terms, i.e. If more than one language is used in the text their language codes should follow according to their usage."įor sorting, the "bibliographic" (i.e., "ger" for German) and "terminology" (i.e., "deu" for German) language codes should be considered equal, since many people are unsure which to use, and many languages have both variants.
The language is represented with three characters according to ISO-639-2.
Here is a short excerpt of what my ideas are regarding the TLAN tag:įrom id3.org: " TLAN: The 'Language(s)' frame should contain the languages of the text or lyrics spoken or sung in the audio.

It seems that more than one language in the TLAN field (i.e., for duets and the like) should be separated by NULL characters, so how would we handle that in Mp3tag? (A NULL character cannot readily be entered into input fields, or displayed.)įlorian, any ideas? Like maybe a "pseudo separation sequence" one could enter into the field and which in turn would be displayed again? I know our broadcasting software does this for the "lyrics" (USLT) field: You can enter something like "eng||lyrics text." or "ger||lyrics text." and it will get converted.

We recently had an interesting discussion about how to use the ID3v2 LANGUAGE tag "TLAN" over in the MusicIP Forums.
