Hello. 

It is very disappointing to see these discussions going on to add such feature to the Fitbit devices it is a complete flaw from Fitbit team that they have missed it from their first release. Fitbit should be working on fixing this issue immediately instead of asking for votes on this. I just bought the versa today and seriously considering returning it and get another “smart” watch

Can you please add Arabic language on Fitbit? Fitbit is actually very famous in the middle east but it’s a little frustrating when you receive a message written in Arabic but the watch gives you quesion marks and always getting your phone out just to look at the message 

 

Please make an update that could make the watch read in Arabic

I have just bought my ionic from online store. Honestly if I'd knew that it doesn't show Arabic script I wouldn't buy it. This is a huge deal breaker.

Hi 

 

i also bought the Ionic but I am very surprised that it doesn’t support Arabic font, it’s pritty standard these days and its on all devices so why not on Fitbit, I should have known that before buying very disappointed:(

I have been using the watch for almost couple of weeks

everything is just fine except the Arabic font support !!

i have no idea why do u ignore adding the Arabic language to your platform?

sometimes I need to quickly check the notification but this is almost impossible with the rubbish we have on the screen

please consider adding the Arabic to ur platform 

thank u

Lots and lots of suggestions but no answer, is this what we get because we choose your wearable over other competent ones.

we just want to check our notifications and I see nothing wrong with being an Arab for this, believe me, I tried to convince everyone I know to send me in English, but as an Egyptian, this is just impossible.

please, it's just some programming task, waiting for the best with the best smartwatch I used since my exploded pebble.

I know this issue has been requested before, but I am writing to strongly recommend that Fitbit enable Arabic notifications as the community would greatly benefit from having text notifications in Arabic readable. I bought a Fitbit for my dad recently and I am highly disappointed by the fact that Arabic is not supported, as I feel like this signifies a lack of inclusivity. I would very much like to keep the Fitbit I bought him and not switch to an Apple watch because of its support for Arabic. I understand that the coding behind adding the language might be difficult but I still think it is worth considering and that if it has been done before in other watches, should be easy to incorporate. Thank you.

Yes. I really like your versa watch, but should be support arabic notification because it will be not important if i can not read notifications by arabic; i think it is important for all arabic people using your watch ‘. Thanks
