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

Stored Form Results
Whenever someone uses one of your forms, we email you the form submission straight away. That is, at this time, the only way we support for you to access form results.
That’s great if you need to collect time-sensitive information that needs to be processed individually. For example, for contact forms or order forms.
For most individuals and small businesses, their email account is where data is safest. Free email services like Gmail or Yahoo give you reliable data storage, that’s an advantage that is often overlooked.
But sometimes what you want is really to collect form data, store it somewhere, and use it later. That’s what you need for medium and large scale surveys, registration forms, and the likes.
Stored form results is the next big thing coming up on FormSmarts.
What Will Change with Stored Form Results?
When this feature becomes available, you’ll have the option to store form submissions on FormSmarts. You’ll then be able to download them, export them to Microsoft Excel, get them emailed to you weekly, or get them via a private RSS feed.
Stored Form Results will only be available to FormSmarts Pro customers.
Anything to Say?
We’re open to suggestions about other ways to let users retrieve stored form data.

Changing a Form’s Recipient Email Address
We get many emails from users asking how they can modify the email address held on their FormSmarts account.
At this time, each FormSmarts account is bound to a single email address. The address is used both as the account username, and as the recipient of all the forms on the account.
We will soon be upgrading FormSmarts Form Builder to provide more flexible email address management.
Users will be able to:
- change the login email address
- specify a different recipient email address for each form

Displaying Your Own Logo on Your Forms
FormSmarts users can now display their own logo in the top left corner of their forms.
Note that because each logo must be reviewed manually, we ask you to spend a few minutes to help us publicize FormSmarts before we take some of our time to validate your logo. Alternatively, you may get your logo validated for a small fee of US$ 5 per logo submitted. You may help us by:
- writing reviews about us on relevant sites and blogs (e.g. Scripts.com, HotScripts)
- posting a video on YouTube showing how to use FormSmarts (gets you free validation of all of your logos)
Once done, ask us to validate your logo.

Show a Form Owner Name on Your Forms
Increase user confidence by letting us verify you own the websites you are using with FormSmarts. FormSmarts will then display a verified form owner name in the top-right corner of all your forms.
To verify your sites, sign in to FormSmarts, and choose the Verified Websites option in the Settings tab. The form owner name can currently only be a verified web hostname. We will soon also support verified personal or company names. More details here.

New FormSmarts Features to Come in 2008
Here are some of the major features we’ll be adding to FormSmarts
during 2008.
Verified Form Owner
Web form users are often concerned about what the form results recipient is going to do with their personal information. As a first step in a series of efforts to help increase user confidence and trust, we’ll introduce a Verified Form Owner scheme.
When the feature becomes available, you’ll have the option to verify your domain name, personal name, or company name. That name will then be used as the form owner name, and will appear in a prominent place at the top of each form. Indications that the form owner has been verified will also be shown.
At the most basic level, verifying your domain name will only take a few minutes.
Customizable Form Appearance
We’ll be offering the ability to change the FormSmarts logo on your forms by your own logo.
More Field Types Supported
We’ll add support form more HTML form field types, like drop down menus (HTML select tag), in the first quarter of 2008.
