[TYPO3-english] value mismatch with fieldtype

[Historia]

Hello,

I am trying to work with utf-8 and whenever I set up a new system  there 
is still the database set to collation latin1_swedish_ci.

My Database has the MySQL connection collation utf8_unicode_ci

Is there any possibility to set up the database from the beginning to 
the right collation.

Ok it is not much of a problem exporting and importing the database, but 
still it is odd to have to do that. It is especially bad if I add the 
new language after filling the database.

Is there any better solution?
