Firmware Translation
for Mi Band 3​

​

As you might know, Mi Band 3 stock firmware contains translations only for 10 languages.
To be exact:

• Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified)
• English
• Spanish
• Russian
• Korean
• French
• German
• Indonesian
• Polish
• Italian
• Japanese
• Thai

Despite the fact that in this Smart Band version Chinese developers included support for more languages comparing to their previous devices, it still isn't satisfactory as many phrases lack translations, which are rough enogh. In addition, I believe Xiaomi isn't going to support other languages besides mentioned above.

That's why I decided to gather people together who could contribute to the translation project of Mi Band 3 firmware by adding their native language to it.

If you are interested in this project and willing to help us,
we kindly invite you to our translation portal:

translation.geekdoing.com


If your language is missing on translation service, please write here and I will add it!​

Despite the fact that the firmware contains Korean translation, there is no font to display Hangul letters.
That's why there will be just blank space on the screen where words should be drawn.

Can you add a Font, such as the Mi Band 2 (HMZK) Font Format

Can you add a Font, such as the Mi Band 2 (HMZK) Font Format

Currently, Mi Fit doesn't have font for MB3 in APK; however, Mi Band 3 firmware (Mili_wuhan.fw) has functions to update it.
As far as I understand, it also uses HMZK Font Format, but it may differ slightly from MB2 HMZK and as a result isn't compatible with it.
So, MB3 contains 2 different fonts: almost the same as MB2 HMZK and condensed one (like in russian, french and some other version) (none of them has Hangul syllabels).

Thank you very much for your work. First I would like to ask if you can add Greek to it. I have already a custom firmware for mi band 2 in Greek and I'm searching for 3. Also this version of the firmware is bug free for notifications on SMS and CallersID!?
Thank you

First I would like to ask if you can add Greek to it.

Regarding Greek language, I am not sure wheter firmware contains fonts for Greek (needs testing), but anyway I am going to share english phrases, that people need to translate. Hopefully, one day all languages will be available on the Mi Band 3.

Also this version of the firmware is bug free for notifications on SMS and CallersID!?

I use original Mi Fit, English firmware and everything works (phone language is set to English). Sometimes it is fixed by using modified Mi Fit, but I don't use it. Try to disable, then again enable calling ID and SMS options in Mi Fit, maybe it will help. Let me know if that works.

Till now I have translated most of Xiaomi apps from Chinese to English and Greek, so if you need any help with the translation in Greek, I would gladly help you. As for fonts, as far I know only 10 languages exist inside and the Greek language contains letters that have accent, like ά, έ, ό, ύ, ί, ή, οί, ώ, that with the original firmware appear as ?. As for the bug, it was mentioned at 4pda with the modded version of mi fit from Lolex. I still haven't installed your firmware, since I must first find free time to do it.

Tomorrow I will post link to the community translation service with all phrases where you could easily translate them and verify (vote for or against) other users translations.

All users who will make a great contribution to the firmware translation into world languages, will receive a special 'Contributor' (need to think about name) banner (like one I have: 'Developer').

That's good that Bulgarian language doesn't contain specific letters (except stadart cyrillic) like Greek ά, έ, ό, ύ, ί, ή, οί, ώ
