I am getting really frustrated that so much of what I have to use is in English. I am trying to chineseify everything to help with my revision/practice. Is there a way to convert skritter so that it is in chinese, ie so it says "學習" instead of "study"?

How are we supposed to become proficient and comfortable in chinese if everything we use is still in English?

You can change the language settings at the top right of the screen, next to "logout"

Right now it is lang: en-zh? Drop down and pick the setting you want.

Yeah, but there aren't very many definitions in Chinese yet (and most of the ones we imported from the Chinese Wiktionary are rather dire and in need of corrections). Still, you can help add your own Chinese definitions to that.

For translating the rest of the interface, we haven't set up the extensive internationalization machinery required yet, although it something we plan to do eventually.

Thanks for the tip on the plugin!!!!

I think I will start by using a chrome plugin to replace relevant bits of text myself. Setting up the text replacement for the main menus and links should be a useful learning exercise.

I agree that this needs to be done. Turn the interface into Chinese and give us an immersion experience please.

Nick, is there milage in licensing a Chinese dictionary for online use? I think I've mentioned this before. If Nciku can use the Oxford...

I would pay extra money or even volunteer my time for free to help get "internationalisation" built into the skritter site. I work as a Java programmer and internationalize all text in many of the websites I develop. Although I am not sure if skritter uses the java or python google app engine.

On a side note, that plugin is briliant!! Not perfect, but definitally very very cool!

I doubt there's mileage, Lurks, unless we can find a way to pay only for those users who set Chinese-Chinese as their language. If you want to make preliminary inquiries, we could follow through on something that looked promising. Haven't had good luck in the past with licensing.

董雅各, we're on the Python side. I think it's going to be a huge project to set up internationalization everywhere now, given how big the site's gotten. If volunteers want to help get it done, we can go for it, but we'd have to be sure of some commitment first.

Doh, I've been doing java programming almost every day for the past 5 years, I have no idea about python at all.
