I would like to create forms (such as a contact form) in Japanese. Can someone recommend a good program?

I don't need translation of the software, I just need to display my forms on my website in Japanese.

I have joomla 1.5.8 installed with Japanese language support (and the Language manager has Japanese set to default).I'm using UTF8. I can write articles in Japanese, but I can't display my forms in Japanese.

I had RSform work, but when I upgraded I was no longer able to write in Japanese. Instead of Japanese ???? was displayed. I'm still working on fixing this、but I'm getting tired of it.
I really like Chronoforms, but I don't know how to display Japanese characters.

My Japanese is poor, but I will try to explain again in Japanese.

日本語で書込みを作りたいんです (接触フォーム, お問合せ、とか)。何のソフトが良いですか?
今joomla1.5.8と日本語をインストールしました。UTF8を使います。
はじめにRSformを使いましたけど、アップグレードの後、何か壊れました。日本語の代わりに???があってしまった。
古いのRSformはもう壊れました。
Chronoformsはいいと思いますけど、漢字はどう書けますか?

何でもソフトがいい、ただ日本語で接触フォームを書けます。

私の日本語はへたくそ、すいません。

I solved my own questions.
Both RSforms or Chronosforms can display Japanese characters. I haven't decided which application is best yet.
The reason I couldn't display Japanese text through the form programs was because the database that RSforms/Chronosorms was using was encoding my data under the wrong format. The database kept labelling it as utf8_swedish_ci.
To fix this, I uninstalled RSforms/Chronoforms. Then I went into Phpmyadmin (to get into Phpmyadmin may be different between webservers) and changed "MySQL connection collation" to utf8_general_ci.
I think that utf8_unicode_ci may also have been ok, but I'm not sure.
I then reinstalled RSforms/Chronoforms, the components installed with the correct encoding/labelling (utf8_general_ci). You may be able to skip the uninstall step and manually change each module/component registered in the database to utf8_general_ci, but it was easiest to uninstall and then reinstall the relevant components.

In phpmyadmin the affected components for RSforms were;

jos_rsform_components
jos_rsform_component_types
jos_rsform_component_type_fields
jos_rsform_config
jos_rsform_forms
jos_rsform_mappings
jos_rsform_properties
jos_rsform_submissions
jos_rsform_submission_values

and for Chronosforms the affected components were;

jos_chrono_contact
jos_chrono_contact_emails
jos_chrono_contact_plugins

RSforms had an extra step, I had to ssh into my webserver and edit the file /components/com_rsform/controller/adapter.php and change the line:

//mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

to

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");

This problem may also affect other joomla form programs.
Hope this helps someone!!!
