Cyrillic Characters for old Fitbit Trackers

Dear Fitbit,

 

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.

Вы прекрасно понимаете какие языки должны поддерживать ваши продукты. Вы не видетите сколько браслетов в какой стране продаётся или сколько в странах сбыта проживает людей?? Вы лучше делайте, чем говорить что вам это важно.

We have a 240€ Blaze watch that doesn't have a simple feature as Cyrillic in it. Is this fair!?

I'm an user in Hong Kong and my contacts and messages more than 99% contain Traditional Chinese character. Please add support ASAP. Thanks!

Please add unicode support for calls and texts. Otherwise, a fix so these are translated to latin rather than text boxes

Unicode support should be a no brainer! Upvoted 🙂

Hello FitBit support,

 

Many your Customers ask for adding Cyrillic support.

Could you please accept it and propose release plan for update?

Or just inform us that you are not planning to include it into next feature list.

My opinion that you may get hugh market share at Eastern Europe with having Cyrillic support.

 

BR, Sergey

That's simply ridiculous that fitbit does not use unicode. It is not an old IBM mainframe code we are talking about. Hope it will be fixed soon. Otherwise I might be selling my Surge and buying something that does support languages apart from English.

Hi Fitbit Team and everyone in the Fitbit Community! It would be wonderful to have technical support and your webpages and apps available in Russian, Ukrainian and Cyrillic! Thanks for your help and follow up in advance.

Best regards,

Totaly agree. That is very strange, that fitbit does not support Russian language. I wish I knew it prerior buying this watch. That is very annoying.

FITBIT!! You really need add Cyrillic (Russian) support in your Blaze. There over millions Russian speaking people use blaze, paid money and love it, so you just must support them too!!! Also may I suggest to add weather info like temp in Blaze !!

Please and Greek language support in notifications, otherwise this feature is almost useless for Greek (and other unicode users), and the product much less appealing and difficult to recommend.

We need arabic support for the fitbit blaze.

My Surge doesn't recognize Russian/Cyrillic letters in notifications. Would be great to fix in in next software upgrades.

It is a good point for increase sales over the world. Maybe cyrillic languages - it is not biggest audience but all UTF-8 users category is it.

Russian language is 6th by total number of speakers. It is more than Korean and Italian alltogether.

Please add Cyrilic support to firmware.

I do totally agree with people.

It's embarrasing to see these gibberish notifications on my Blaze.

I believe it's not so difficult to add cyrillic fonts. I hope my vote will count someday.
