FYI - even tic watch has Hebrew support since ~ 2015-2016, so I'd like to hear your statement regarding why shouldn't the fitbit device have support as well.

Hi,

Wonder if there ss anything new regarding Hebrew support on Fitbit devices? 

I am about to purchase a new wearable - most likely the new Fitbit sense. 

However, if there is no Hebrew support for notifications I will go with Garmin as they have Hebrew support and Garmin pay in Israel (!).

Thanks

So sad:/ my old charge 3 support hebrew but my brand new sense does not.

[Nachum]

I just bought the new SENSE.

It does not work with Hebrew notifications.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Everyone, vote for this suggestion - https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Full-RTL-Language-support-for-Versa-2-Hebrew-etc...

Not supporting Hebrew is the only reason I'm thinking of changing from Fitbit to Garmin / Samsung / apple since 95% of my messages are in Hebrew but instead show as gibberish. 

[OllaG]

Shocked! Just got a fitbit versa 2, all notifications in Hebre show as question marks!

There was a firmware update today and guess what!? Still wasn't fixed..

I guess you are ignoring our requests, shame!

Dear fitbit, 

Speeking of well being & to take a moment for nyself - I think you really can help this time.

Well,  I do not feel appreciated at all. 

(understatement)

Ease advise whether you are going to support Hebrew+RTL(Right To Left)?

And of so,  please give al of Hebrew users an estimation of when? 

So,  we will al be able to make our own decisions.

Regards.

please add this.. the device doesn't seem to support hebrew, thats not ok!

[QueenSharona]

Please add Hebrew text to the Versa 3. This is the only thing that keeps me away from making a purchase right now. Please don't make me leave you for another brand.

[YojanaFitbit]

Hi @QueenSharona, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see support Hebrew on Fitbit Versa. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

[Kobi077]

2021 is near the corner, but still there is no hebrew language support for 300$ smartwatch.

This is a must have option, and there is a market failure here.

[ilya.f]

how's it going implementing the Hebrew language guys?

There are 57 VOTES for this change in the newer models of Fitbit devices, approx zero effort to implement it.

please consider this bug fix for the sake of Israel community.

and i know many people in IL aren't buying this as it's a base function to support hebrew and you already had it years ago.

how come it's not coming out by default?

[MikeGn]

Hello, is there a way to consolidate all Hebrew support requests?

Long time ago I opened Hebrew support request, now with 139 votes:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Support-Hebrew-on-Ionic-and-Versa/idi-p/3188020

It seems votes is the only thing which matters for Fitbit, so spreading across multiple topics seems to decrease chances to be implemented.

Frankly, I am not optimistic regarding this feature.

[lidiarv]

Hi! I am waiting for Hebrew support on Versa3 watch as well, this is very frustrating..

[nadavr]

Also waiting for hebrew support, considered purchasing sense/versa3 and decided to wait until hebrew support is available. the smartwatch feature isn't worth much when messages cannot be read.

[SunsetRunner]

Please add Hebrew to Fitbit Sense also. I had a Charge 3 that had Hebrew support!

[Hatan88]

Any update about Hebrew for Versa? 

Please help, a lot of users here is Israel

[Amit_L]

Indeed, we are all waiting for this!

[SunsetRunner]

Please add Hebrew to Sense! If I knew that it does not support I would not buy it...

[Hbel]

Hello I was wondering why I can’t read Hebrew on the new sense? I was able to read it on the charge 3.

please add Hebrew
