Wow, my Chinese reading comprehension is rusty.

[randomness]

Using Chinese Tutor's flash card mode, I've determined that while a lot of it is really wedged deep inside my brain, I can still dredge out some of my written Chinese if asked. At least, that's my conclusion based on the fact that I managed to unlock 225 words by memory and context.

This is better than I assumed by about a factor of two, although I know some of the characters are ones I learned after my one year of college-level Mandarin. I was supposed to know more than this so I have clearly forgotten a lot.

Still, I pretty much just bulled my way through in a couple of hours of staring at the screen and guessing, so it's in there. It's not easy to access, but it's in there.

More work to be done here.

Also, there are some outright errors in the English translations. See 紅 for example, which doesn't mention the color in a section which appears to be drilling color names. Worse yet is 千, which is totally wrong.
