The current template text translates as "This user writes a certain level of Japanese literature" -- pretty sure that's not what is meant. Suggest one of: &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 17:15, 26 April 2006 (CDT)
 * この利用者はある程度の日本語を書けます.
 * この利用者は中級の日本語をかけます.
 * Yes, the current message is wrong. Both your replacement suggestions are okay, but I can suggest a possibly different construction that may be better:
 * この利用者は2級の日本語能力を有しています.
 * or
 * この利用者の日本語作文能力は2級です.

 * I think 中級 is more meaningful than 2級. The number 2 is already displayed in large print, the message is supposed to elaborate/explain, not to repeat.

 * この利用者は中級の日本語読書力を有しています.

 * In Japanese it just means general reading/writing ability. I think 読書 has a different meaning in Chinese which might have misled you. Koyashi 16:14, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Indeed, because even in Japanese 書 is the kanji for hon, so I wasn't sure. ^^ - 21:14, 23 May 2006 (CDT)

 * This is for read/write ability, which can differ very significantly from speaking ability. - 22:31, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
