I know this is a work in progress, but a lot of the time the Chinese (zh-cn-zh) definitions are pretty poor.

For example, 国家 is defined as "～的。；dt. Nhà nước.；tt. Theo chủ nghĩa quốc gia."

Also, a lot of the time they contain the characters you're being prompted to write.

Any news on when Chinese definitions will be sorted out fully?

Yeah, there's just nothing out there we can freely use for this except the Wiktionary import that I already did. We don't have any way to do it besides gradual user corrections and additions. I did run a script to hide the characters being prompted, but I guess it didn't work for everything.

Isn't there a free China-based zh-cn-zh dictionary on the market that can be imported? After all, most stuff is free in China, although maybe it's hard to verify the quality of it.
I just googled 汉典, for example, this site has a link to download a dictionary. http://bbs.zdic.net/thread-128464-1-1.html from http://www.zdic.net/
I would think there must be some quality sites in China that have free dictionaries you can import from.

We have to be able to verify the license on the dictionary. When I asked one of our Chinese interns to do that for a host of dictionaries I found online, all of the zh-zh ones turned up negative: not free to use.

I just have a minute right now. Is that zdic export free for commercial use?

I have no idea, I imagine it is because that zdic moderator posted the file on that forum, but I'm not sure about the quality of the content and whether it's importable. Maybe someone who is better at Chinese can search for something like this, I'm just thinking there must be something out there in China?

Zdic.net gets its content from 龙维基 http://www.longwiki.net/ , which uses the Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) license.

Ah ok, I would correct them myself but I'm not a native speaker so not sure how helpful that'd be.
