I would strongly suggest using UTF-8.

If FormBuilder is supposed to switch between the language packs they 
need to
have a common encoding.
Only Unicode covers all languages.

This has a few problems, though, that we need to discuss.
	- UTF8 at this point is not the "natural" encoding for most people ( 
though hopefully it will be one day)
        - Perl versions prior to 5.8 could have trouble handling it
	- If you want to use another encoding for output, we probably need a 
way to tell FormBuilder about it
	(although, if you use say, Latin-1 you cannot display most of the 
languages,
        and thus cannot use the message-localization feature anyway)

HTML-style might work, too, for some languages, but not really for 
Asian languages.
Tricky stuff,
