Hi @alfouzanthanks for sharing your suggestion about including Arabic language support for the Fitbit Versa watch, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is Not currently planned. This helps to keep the forums more organized. 

 

Thank you for your participation in the Community.

I just bought it and it's agreat watch but I shocked when I know that it doesn't support Arabic. In the same time I watch support Arabic since 2016!

 

So please push forward to this update.

Hi @Saud84, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see Arabic sms and other arabic notification unreadable on Fitbit Smartwatches. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". I hope to see you around.

Hi @Ahmad.alotaibi ! Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion about supporting Arabic language with us. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While this isn't currently planned at this moment, we have left voting open so we can keep tracking this request over time. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.

Now that Fitbit is Google product I think you have no excuse not to support Arabic

If only fitbit members can vote on this feature and it follows that those who communicate in Arabic regularly will use another smart watch over yours.. I think you're really underestimating how much this feature can boost your market potential.

Close to 5 years this feature have been requested by many people and yet no implementation. Also, the moderators replies in this thread a a troll at this point.

Just to let you all know. They have at last implemented it. But only on the latest version of their product and latest version of OS. I personally changed from Versa 2 to Sense to have this feature for Persian notifications.

as far as I know Versa 3 ans Sense have this feature.

@YojanaFitbit are you serious? We want it to be able to use the watch!

it’s as simple as this. Not every body have notifications in English (latin letters)

If I ever change watches it’s gonna be to something different that supports my needs. I am not gonna support a company who doesn’t listen to its client base. I don’t have to be forced into buying a new watch just so I can have a certain feature that should have been implemented from the get-go.

@MrTismo I get your point. And I’m not telling that you should buy the new one. Just wanted to tell everybody that they have implemented in the OS 5.0 version. Which is not acceptable in my opinion as well:)

Please support the Arabic language, because I feel that it is a worthless watch without the Arabic language. I receive all notifications in Arabic, so I cannot benefit from the watch 

Mody123

I work as a journalist and I will write an article. It is the worst watch with a bad reputation. I will not advise anyone to buy it because it does not support the Arabic language. If it does not support the Arabic language, why do you sell it in the Middle East and Arab countries and it is not mentioned that it does not support the Arabic language? This is commercial fraud.

I just bought versa 3 and I wish I didn't, no Arabic support why anyway totally warning others of buying any Fitbit products until they release Arabic support, we are in 2021, and still, we have a lack of support of Languages.
