I'd like to set my source language as Chinese, so that I see definitions of words and character writing hints in Chinese, instead of in English.

For example, when Skritter wants me to draw 警察, it says "police." Is there a way to get this prompt in Chinese, preferably a prompt that doesn't use the characters 警 or 察?

At the top right of the screen, between your username and logout, there's a language setting.

I was using English - Simplified Chinese a while ago. From what I remember, not all words have Chinese prompts yet and many that do contain the character you're being tested on in the prompt.

The Skritter Gods banished the target character from the definitions for all single characters where applicable. Target words have been deleted from the definitions but single characters sometimes appear separately.

All together I find it nice to be forced to read some Chinese definitions while I'm Skrittering. It's another good for new words as well.

Our Chinese definitions are very lacking, although they're slowly being improved by the community. It's tough to switch when you're used to your English definitions for everything and all the sudden you're missing prompts because you can't understand the Chinese definition, or the Chinese definition is totally crazy and hasn't been edited yet. But if you're up for a challenge, have a try!
