Is there a way to display Skritter's menus and stuff in Japanese? I've set my Skritter to ja-ja, but that hasn't changed anything.

I don't believe their is a way to do that. Personally I wouldn't want to do that as it would make Skritter harder to use. If you want to learn the commands for using a piece of software you could always make a list of the Kanji you find in the software and study that.

Well I do think offering the interface in different languages would be good (after all, not everybody who's studying Chinese is an English native or even good at English at all).

Most people who would need this though either don't write in the forum (for obvious reasons) or don't even sign up for skritter at all because of the language barrier.

I really think it would be great if we could do that. I mean, if you want to swim you have to jump into water. You could even create a special "Skritter list" with the words which would be used.

It's on the to-do list, but setting up full internationalization and localization is a ton of work, so we haven't gotten to it yet.

@weirdesky: What you did there was tell Skritter to use Japanese definitions for words when we have them, so you learn Japanese in Japanese. Unfortunately, we have very few of those, so the definitions pretty much always default to English anyway. We need to work on that dictionary, and then we'll really have something nice for hardcore Japanese learners. If anyone has a medium to high proficiency in Japanese and would like to work on our dictionary in return for free use of Skritter, let me know!
