How to display Japanese text

Hi everyone,
I would like to create forms in Japanese, I don't need the actual Chronoform software translated.
Can anyone suggest how to display text through a chronos form in Japanese (using UTF8)?
I have joomla 1.5.8 installed and japanese language support installed. Japanese is set as default under Extensions>Language Manager.
I can write articles in Japanese, but so far haven't been able to write in Japanese with Chronosform.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi moomoochoo,

Please search the forums here on UTF8 or UTF - this question has come up a couple of times for different languages.

Well I solved my problem, it took me a good day to find the answers. Incidentally I had the same problem with RSforms(but with one extra step).
The database was encoding? my data under the wrong format, it kept labelling it as utf8_swedish_ci.
To fix this, I uninstalled 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 Chronoforms, they 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.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for posting the fix!🙂
