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.

At least they care about Arab community and they support our language on their devices.

I really love fitbit's product, and I am OK to have a smart watch/band with English UI only. But poor language support? Nah.

This will be the downfall of fitbit, to my opinion i'll never pay attention to any new product you through at us.
How can you make something that is monolingual?
Thats just a punch in everone face! (At least those who dont know english)
If youll keep heading towards this steep threshold go on, we didnt ask for much. How hard can it be to implement languages!!? Either the product is defective and wont handle it or your department needs serious remodeling.

I think this is a great idea! I know that there are several users out there using Cyrillic characters and that also enjoys using Fitbit text/call/calendar notifications. I think many users will benefit from this feature as Cyrillic characters are very popular. Thanks for your suggestion.

Before buying this product I was confident that this device supports UTF8 encoding because all modern devices for international market support it. I was really frastrated because of it. And I looks like they will never implement this feature for the device. Probably i will just get rid of it and will buy something else..

Vote for Cyrillic into Blaze!!! I am pretty shure that the most part of fitbit users dont get to that forum, and we never recieve necessary number of voices 😞 I am very dissapointed to see that fitbit doesnt support a language of a big country! Without notificatios it is like smart bracelet!!! Smiley Sad Who want too buy a smart bracelet for that price? Russians never bought this product with squares without letters!

Can you please give us the Arabic language in texts/calls. A lot of Arabs use your products and they need that support. Please help us and fix this issue.

Yes.  Please make the system to support multi-language notifications, like Chinese, asap.  This is highly necessary for Fitbit to stay competitive with other smart watches on the market.
