<h2>Tag translations</h2>
<p>To be able to save tags from other systems to Matroska we need to translate them to our system. There is a translation table <a href="othertagsystems/comparetable.html">on our site</a> and <a href="http://hobba.hobba.nl/audio/tag_frame_reference.html">one done by Prodoc</a> that will hopefully be featured here soon.</p>

+<p>The TargetType element allows tagging of different parts that are inside or outside a given file. For example in an audio file with one track you could have informations about the CD it comes from and even the CD set even if it's not found in the file.</p>
+
+<p>For application to know what kind of information (like TITLE) relates to a certain level (CD title or track title), we also need a set of official TargetType names. For now audio and video will have different names. That also means the same tag can have different meanings depending on where it is (otherwise we would end up with 15 TITLE_ tags).</p>
