It doesn't seems really complex. Some Apps are in Arabic and the text reads just fine. What actually matters is the notification from the phone. We are not asking for a whole operation system to be in Arabic, we just want to read notifications.

Had I known this feature doesn't exist, I would have never spent $200+ on my Versa 2.

 

I will return it back if it's definite that there will be no Arabic supporting feature is coming soon. I just got it last week and under warranty.

 

Thank you,

M

It’s been years since users have asked you to do so, it’s very very doable and now you are supported by Google! Bring us the arabic text please

I think if we can create a group for all fitbit users who want this feature so we can all request this feature at the same time until fitbit do it.

Hi,

Why fitbit ionic does not support Arabic language

I need to be able to read incoming Arabic messages. Supporting different languages is a very important feature that any smart watch should have.

Arabic is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language of 26 states and 1 disputed territory, the third most after English and French! Omitting the language in all of FitBit devices is perplexing to all of your loyal customers. We only need notifications support, that's it. Please make it happen.

I was shocked when I bought it and found that the letters are incomprehensible and without Arabic support we hope that you handle the matter and add the response feature in all systems and not only in Android

I really do agree that we need this important feature..

All fitbit watches are very good watches but they are semi useless without my native language...

 

Strongly agree for this simple feature...

Arabic language is the worlds' fifth most spoken and used language and thousands of your cuatomars are Arabic people .. so we hope and trust that you will solve this case as soon as possible .. thank you .
