Changing tags in German, somehow (8)

I believe the answer is:

renaming

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'changing tags in german somehow' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in german somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'german'='ingerman'
'ingerman' is an anagram of 'RENAMING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for renaming that I've seen is " changing handle".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
