884958 - [Newsletter][Basket] Language_ISO2 field logic to prevent overriding non-EN language

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Problem:
We don't want someone to accidentally overwrite their Spanish (or other non-EN) subscription to Firefox & You with an English subscription when they subscribe to a newsletter like Apps & Hacks (https://hacks.mozilla.org/) that's English only.

Possible solution:
We might be able to handle this the same as we're now handling the HTML/Text format - if the language isn't in the form submitted by the user, we don't send any language to ET. I'd have to check the code to be sure that's feasible. Anyway, I'm fine with postponing this. You might want to make sure there's a bugzilla bug for this if there's not already, just so we don't forget about it.

Possible problem with solution:
We might have forms (like Marketplace Bug 874932) that don't have a language drop down due to UI design, but we should pass through the right language for the form.

Possible solution:
Don't pass through language for a form that doesn't have a language drop-down by default - but you can overwrite this with a particular form to send the right language into basket to pass into Exact Target. (Ie. Marketplace's code should auto-select the language field on the back-end and pass through that information even though there's not a language drop-down.)
