<lid> (Merge Field Name Language ID)

This element specifies the language ID for the language which was used to generate the merge field name which was associated with a given column in the data source, as specified by the <fieldMapData> element (§2.14.15). This element specifies that when this field mapping is processed by an application, it shall interpret the merge field name as the name for the specified language.

If this element is omitted, then the mapped field names specified in the current document may be interpreted using any method desired by the consuming application (i.e. no language data is included with the field mapping information).

example: 
<w:fieldMapData>
  <w:name w:val="Title" />
  <w:column w:val="3" />
  <w:mappedName w:val="Courtesy Title" />
  <w:lid w:val="en-US" />
</w:fieldMapData>

The <lid> element specifies that the mapping of the data contained in the fourth column of external data source named Title to the WordprocessingML of 'Courtesy Title', shall be associated with the U.S. English language as specified by the @val attribute equal to en-US. ]
