  I'm building a multi-lingual site (english and spanish) and I have a news section with entries that have a "tags" field attached.
  
  I've marked this field as "translatable" in the CP.
  
  But, when I've added a tag to an entry, double clicking it reveals the pop-up field editor where I can switch between locales as expected (see screenshot). But I can't enter different values for "Name" in each locale. It behaves like a non-translatable field where changing the value in one locale changes it for all the others.

  Setting my "tags" field as translatable in the CP seems to allow me to assign different tags to the entry for each locale, but that's not what I want. What I want is to have an entry's tags persist across locales, but be translated into their appropriate language.
  
  Is the default "Name" field for tags translatable? How should I be setting this up to get the behavior I want?
  
  Thanks for the help.

  I can confirm this is indeed the case (as of 2.1.2564). I don't know if it's intended behaviour or a bug, but I would wager the former. I seem to recall somewhere learning that P&T made an explicit decision to not have tag Names be translatable.
