Alteration to New Zealand badge

Hello Team Fitbit!

 

Could we please change the text from G'Day (typically Australian) to Kia Ora? (Maori greeting)

Just makes a bit more sense in a New Zealand context

 

"G'Day! You've earned the NewZealand badge You've walked 1,593 lifetime kilometers—the entire length ofNew Zealand. And while that country's native bird the Kiwi might be flightless, you, my friend, are really taking off."

 

With thanks, Viv 🙂

Wow! Thanks for the clarification! I hope to see this implemented soon. Please keep on voting on this idea to make it more visible to the developers. 

 

Keep up the supper stepping! 🙂

Kia Ora! Almost two years later and still no update.  Such a shame that NZ gets misrepresented and forgotten 😞  Can't be that hard to change G'day to Kia Ora surely?!

Wow, surprised this still hasn’t been fixed.  Bit of an insult to confuse the countries like this

I just received the Congrats message now and thought I'd see if I was the only one surprised about the use of G'Day with the NZ theme.

I see it's now been seven years since the original comment here and the greeting still has not been changed! FitBit, what's going on?
