It's 2021 not being able to see text in my native language (whatever it is), as well as English, is IMO not an option.

 

If I'd have known this to be the case I wouldn't have purchased the tracker.

I made the same request and actually returned my watch after realizing Hebrew or Unicode in general is not supported. I didn’t even consider this would be an issue given my current charge 3 does support it.


this feature request is likely relevant to all Unicode right to left languages. Maybe changing the title will yield more votes

Indeed, such a disappointment to buy a nice watch and not being able to use it fully

I agree with an earlier comment. I too upgraded from charge 3 to charge 5 and was very disappointed to find out that Hebrew is not supported on my new charge 5. It’s hard to go back once you had this feature. Please work your magic and make it happen!

Please, please pretty please add support for Hebrew, and any other Unicode right to left language

Lack of unicode support in a modern system is unacceptable.

Please add this as quickly as possible.

I also upgraded from 3 to 5. If I'd knew the 5 doesn't support notifications on hebrew I would never buy it. 
Please add hebrew!

Supporting Hebrew is a mast have.

I have the Charge 5 - I am not using it just due to the lack of Hebrew support.

I will not recommend to any one to buy it without the Hebrew support.

Please add Hebrew support. I am very disappointed my Charge 5 has a complete feature which is not useful for me (cannot see Hebrew notifications).

Very disappointing, can't say I have high hopes for getting a fix.

I've been using fitbit charge devices for several years and I just might 'jump ship'.

I used Charge 2 and Charge 3 and they both support Hebrew. After upgrading to Charge 5 I was really disappointed to find out I can't read messages... 😞

Please, solve it!!!!!!!!

2022 and just got a charge 5 after using charge 3 which had Hebrew, is it really that hard to use the code from there here?

I have had charge 3 for years and now I couldn't decide between luxe and charge 5 so I bought both(!) and I'm just shocked that they both don't support Hebrew.

This is embarrassing to shameful.

Please fix this asap.

Also see my note here for luxe:

It’s 2022 and Hebrew is not supported in notifications on Charge 5? Seriously? Can someone please care to explain in what world does it make sense? And I’m not being sarcastic, I honestly would appreciate if someone can explain please 🙏🏻

I was going to upgrade to charge 5 until I realized hebrew is not supported. How is it possible you have it on earlier versions but not on charge 5? Will not buy a new fitbit tracker unless it supports hebrew. I've been using fitbit for over 6 years now, I will switch to another company's watch if this is not resolved.

I upgraded from the inspire which supported Hebrew text to the charge 5, and feel that despite some wonderful features I took a step back to the dark ages with the lack of Hebrew font. Seriously considering switching to a different brand tracker that supports Hebrew. 
I am also disappointed with the lack of consideration from the support team - no “sorry to disappoint you, we understand that it is frustrating to lose a loved feature in an upgrade” - just a short list of languages supported. Not what I would have expected!

Charge 4 supported Hebrew and Charge 5 doesn’t. What a downgrade… if I could I’d return it

Pls support Hebrew! Shouldnt be a difficult task since it is already supported in other models and you have the code. The community have asked you for this feature for a long time, but nothing happens. As much as I like its design charge5 is not usfull for me. Please let us know if you are planning to add Hebrew. Thank you.

such a disappointment, it's 2022 this should not be an issue any longer! I've had fitbit charge 1, 3 and 4, 3 and 4 could read Hebrew. Seriously considering to jump ship to another brand if fitbit is not solving this.
