language field in external form

How to make langauge field choice show up on external form?
This only shows up and empty dropdown field, and not sending language info to the collecting site.
<td><label for="user_field">Language</label></td>
<td><input name="customField[3]" type="dropdown" value="" id="" /></td>

Hi,

The external subscription form does not load any data from your Acymailing server. Instead, it simply renders and presents the form to the user. Therefore, it is vital that the options for the dropdown field are added directly to the external subscription form.

When adding the options for the dropdown field, please keep in mind that values in the database are stored using the official language notations. For example, the correct value for English should be "en-GB".

Example:

<label for="language">Language</label>

<select name="language" id="language">
  <option value="en-GB">English</option>
  <option value="nl-NL">Dutch</option>
</select>

jvstratum Well the dropdowns do show up on the html form, name and email is sent over to the other website but the language value is always the same for some reason, regardless of what I choose.

Hi,

I don't understand why you use customField[3] for the language in your above example. The language field is a core field. Can you try to treat it as such?

<tr>
    <td><label for="user_language">Language</label></td>
    <td><input id="user_language" type="text" name="user[language]" value="" /></td>
</tr>
