I have Fitbit Surge and the option for notification works pretty poor as the messages in Cyryllic are not shown as they should be, they are show in squares.
Moderator edit: updated subject for clarity and labels.
Hello, All text messages that arrive in Arabic cannot be read on my fitbit blaze. They appear as blocks. Half of my communication is in Arabic characters, so this makes the functionality half useful. Please add Arabic characters support.
Gent I am ready to support you in any coding required to update the Blaze watch firmware to support Arabic language Please give my request attention its really killing me seeing the notification in my watch as squares instead of Arabic letters 😞
I would like to highlight that this is essential to be deployed, as Russian-based users count is huge and getting more and more from day to day. Please add support of Cyrillic and Russian language for all the content (calls, sms, menu, notifications).
I am using Blaze and it makes me unhappy to see the unreadable icons instead of normal text.
many thanks in advance and good luck in your future work!
How come Fitbit sells Blaze in HK without Chinese support?! I'm very disappointed and now the Blaze's notification is useless for me. I'm sorry but be honest, I told my friends do not buy Fitbit's product in a gathering just few days ago. Yup, I finally wear my Sony Smartwatch2 again.
Hi, I think multiple language support is important. Yes, do include Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese... that's half of the world's population...
yes, I really regret getting this "downgraded" "smartwatch". No traditional Chinese display, no waterproof...Why did I retire my Pebble? That was a stupid move!!
Could you please let the Russian speaking customers know the current status of this Feature? If this is considered to be implemented or not?
Additionally could you please tell us how many points the idea should get to be implemented?
This notification feature is very usefull but the unsupported cyrrilic symbols makes this functionality useless for the quite big number of users. Some of my colleagues were inpressed by the product but when they find out that the sms \ calls text goes in unreadable way they don't consider the idea of bying the product any more.
For myself I just renamed the most important contacts in english to see who is calling but for sms it's the same...
Is it possible at least provide a kind of a Hot Fix so only people who needs this functionality could update the devices (possibly manually)? I think that would make us very happy!
My phone is operating in Cyrillic and most part of my communication is typed in Cyrillic (contact names also) So that makes the notification part of the bracelet a bit useless, and for me that's one of the important features.
We are 252 mill people using this script and recently we even have domains in Cyrillic, so you know there is a high demand 🙂
