It would be great to have a way of setting the contacts preferred locale automatically when added to your segment/list rather than setting it manually.
Is there a way of doing this already that I’ve missed?
If not, it would be a great addition so that when you show the contact your **preference center landing page** it shows it in the correct translation language you installed in mautic.

You have to love Mautic.
I managed to set up the preferred locale for a new contact by setting up a campaign to change the preferred locale of the contact immediately after being added to my list. Great 🙂

Great, the campaign did the trick, thanks for sharing!
