They are created without any specific collation, so MySQL uses the default one (which obviously is latin1_swedish_ci. You should be able to change it without any side-effects.

To make your tables use your preferred collation, create or alter the database to use the one you need.
CREATE DATABASE db_name
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[[DEFAULT] COLLATE collation_name
or
ALTER DATABASE db_name
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[[DEFAULT] COLLATE collation_name]

Or are you creating the database from within the install tool?
