FormSmarts Soon in More Languages

We’ve started to translate FormSmarts’ form handler into other languages. When the international version is released, form users will see instructions, error messages, and confirmation messages in their preferred language.

International form owners will welcome this move, but not only them.

  • FormSmarts users with international websites will be able to create forms in English, while making them available to an international audience without any extra efforts;
  • a U.S. user with a preferred language set to Spanish in his browser will see messages in that language.

Note that the internationalization in progress only applies to the form processor at this time. At the rate we introduce new features to the form builder, we wouldn’t be able to keep translations in sync.

We’ve already emailed international users to ask anyone able and willing to translate FormSmarts into their own language to sign up. If you would like to contribute but didn’t get the email, please register here.

Update: We would like to thank all the users who have already volunteered to translate FormSmarts into their language. Our most wanted languages are currently:

  • Chinese (Simplified) / 中文 (简体)
  • Japanese / 日本語
  • Russian / русский
  • Italian / italiano
  • Polish / polski
  • Korean / 한국어

Introducing SmartsPoints

As you may be aware, we’re soon going to allow users to store form results on FormSmarts, rather than having them sent by email. We’ll introduce at the same time a number of useful new features.

Although we’ll give everyone a limited storage space to get starting, most users will want to get more. The good news is that you won’t have to pay for more storage: we’ll trade storage packages against SmartsPoints, FormSmarts’ reward scheme.

Earning SmartsPoints is easy:

  1. Start earning SmartsPoints right now by inviting friends and colleagues to FormSmarts from the Settings tab of your account (SmartsPoints option);
  2. Introduce your visitors to FormSmarts from your website, blog, myspace,… using the referral link shown in your account.

We’ll credit SmartsPoints to your account whenever someone you invited creates an account and starts using FormSmarts. Note that it takes several weeks for points to be credited to your account.

Start Earning SmartsPoints Now!

In addition to resources allowance, we have a series of high value added features in the making to spend your points on. SmartsPoints can also get you professional per-incident support when you need it, so start earning SmartsPoints now!
