We’re going to add a hidden preferred language field on our lead capture form. Where can I find documentation on the correct values to use for each language option as well as the correct field name to use for the mapping?  
Lastly, how can I make the preferred language data appear when I’m viewing contacts inside CRM contacts screen in Hubspot?

Thank you!

Hi @montyrach305,  
Here’s a list of values the field can take: [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/Preferred-Language-in-Contact/m-p/1026371/highlight/true#M9911](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/Preferred-Language-in-Contact/m-p/1026371/highlight/true#M9911)

Here’s how you can pass on hidden values: [Pass contact property values with hidden form fields](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/pass-contact-property-values-with-hidden-form-fields)

If you want to add this to the left contact record sidebar, you can do so in the record customization options: [Customize records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/customize-records)

Let me know if oyu have any follow-up questions!
