Thanks to the hard work and great support of our community, the Wufoo system messages on public forms have been translated into 13 languages. As of today, you can log in, go to the form manager and select your desired language from the Form Properties menu. Changing the setting will cause error messages and password protection of public forms to appear in the selected language. The languages currently available are:

• Chinese - Simplified
• Chinese - Traditional
• Croatian
• Dutch
• English
• German
• Italian
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Slovenian
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Turkish

So, what’s next? We would like to continue to offer great support for internationalization. We’re working on a dynamic site that will reflect what languages we have, what we need, and offer the ability to make corrections. We’d also like to expand languages to all sub titles — for example, “State / Province / Region” in the address field. And once all of that is completed, who knows, maybe reports and other public facing pages will get an internationalization makeover.

In the meantime, please let us know if you see anything wrong with the current implementation, and feel free to submit new languages using the language template. Thanks again to all of our contributors.

Get updates about your form via cell phone.

We are stoked to announce a major upgrade to our Subscribe feature that will hopefully provide a more versatile solution to our users in regards to how they keep informed about what’s going on with their Wufoo form. In addition to being able to receive updates about new entries and comments via your email inbox and favorite feedreader, we now provide support for mobile devices, so you can get text message updates sent to your cell phone or PDA as soon as the data is collect by your forms.

To access these new features, just go to the Form Manager and click the Subscribe button. Because it was getting a little crowded in the Form Builder, we’ve pulled out the Email New Entries feature from the Form Properties tab and moved everything into what we think will be a more cohesive interface for getting notifications about new entries and new comments. We’re really excited about the possibilties of this new layout. We think it’s an easier way to set up notifications and a great way to integrate Wufoo into your mobile workflow.

Currently, we’re supporting text message updates to 7 carriers (AT&T, Boost, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) and we have plans to add more in the coming weeks as we make sure everything is working as it should. So please, get out there, try it out and tell us what you think.

Today we added the ability for you to track number of times that your form has been viewed in addition to the number of times that the form has been completed. To view these graphs, just head to the form manager section and click on the button labeled statistics. The tab marked ‘Today’ only shows the entries for the day, but the week, month, and year tabs display both the hits and views that your forms have received. We’re excited to get this out because part our long term strategy to help our users not only create forms, but to optimize their forms in order to receive a higher completion rate.

You may also notice that the appearance of the graphs are a little different than before. We weren’t entirely satisfied with the speed and flexibility that our old graphing tool provided, so we’re now moving over to FusionCharts. If you take a look at some of their examples, you’ll see that you can make some pretty sweet looking graphs with them. We’ll eventually be moving our reporting graphs over to FusionCharts in order to make those a little faster and better looking.
