Hi team.

Good watches but have questions.

Not correct incorrectly displays Russian letters. Cyrillic letters does not recognize message,weather etc...

Question to support or add a normal display of Russian letters?

Hi

Currently Fitbit doesn’t have support for Russian language. This has often been asked for and in fact there is a two year old thread about this (and other foreign language support) https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Support-foreign-languages-in-notifications-Hebre...

Many people use in Russia need to make a pleasant use for us.

Hello!

It's not a great solution. I'm happy you solved your problem.

But there are many people with iPhone devices. There is no application can intercept system notifications... I've tried to investigate this workaround for iOS and wanted to make some similar app. But it's impossible. Only applications which work with bluetooth devices (e.g. official fitbit app) have access to notifications of other applications.

I don't understand. Fitbit can't implement this feature so long... Notifications already sent as UTF8 encoded strings from iPhone to Ionic... I think the problem only is Ionic doesn't have UTF8 fonts...

I'm angry. I can't read mesages and can't answer the calls because I see only "??????? is calling you". "????? ?????: ?? ?????!". WTF?!

Fitbit, it's a huge problem. I think you should prioritise this issue ASAP. You lie to your clients when you're telling us about your features. Even mi band can count my steps. But it costs ever cheaper than your device.

I can't advice to buy this device to my friends while you haven't resolved this problem.

Today I replied to this thread. And I was frustrated that Ionic doesn't support Russian language in notifications...

But later I updated device to the new OS and it started to work!!! 

Russain language is supported now! Thank you for implementation this important feature!

Hi, which versions installed to you devices? I mean installed on iOS and Ionic. Today is 13th of November 2019 and my devices are up to date. I can see the name of message sender in Russian, but I cannot see the message.
