Hey Maddoctor, thanks for the guide!
Though this seems like a temporary solution to the problem. In case if somebody didn't know: there's a MIUI Apps (Mi Fit included) translation project on Crowdin, just search for it. This is a huge platform for software localization. So if somebody wants to contribute to the whole Xiaomi ecosystem translation and use it in your mother tongue, then you are welcome there as well!

Since I see a lot of people asking how they can see the weather notifications in their language and this is set only from Mi Fit and not from the firmware, you must make some adjustments to the mi fit you are using.

The only thing is that I have these commands translated in values-el, but don't show up at mi band 3. Only if they exist in the main folder values, in strings.xml, you can see them in your band. So I don't know how this project can help in this specific problem!?

Hi Maddoctor!

You do not know how to extract and compress the .res file so that it can be used? I unpacked, redrawn the pictures, repacked it, but it does not work. I used python program for BIP clock, but I did not succeed.

Thanks

Hmmm, that's really strange... This project is backed by the community from miui . com so I thought that it would be some kind of 'official'. I'm sorry to misinform someone. Probably the strings haven't been updated to the newest version yet or something. Well, I'll put that guessing game aside and thank you again for the guide. It seems like one of the most appropriate to solve the problem

The guide is only for translating some strings of mi fit, not for editing res files.

I know exactly what you wrote down, I just asked you if you knew this.

Hello, I modified the Mifit application by following the OK instructions, but after installing the modified MI Fit software I can not log in

After editing the weather into Czech and saving the following installation, it is not possible to log in to an account reporting an error I have a Huawei Nexus 6P pure Android Oreo 8.1

Yes, he attempted to run a gmail account, but without the result the error is repeated
I have also tried the same Greek version of the revised Greek version

Since I see a lot of people asking how they can see the weather notifications in their language and this is set only from Mi Fit and not from the firmware, you must make some adjustments to the mi fit you are using.

1. You will have to download the APK Editor from Google Playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkeditor

8. The commands that must be changed are these:

You change ONLY the words in bold in the code above and nothing else. After you have finished, you press Build which is at the top right side of your screen and wait till you see that everything has finished and you can install it. Press install and you are ready. Now the notifications will be in your language.

In case you want the notifications only in english, and you don't want to do all these, you can also download Mi Fit 3.4.2GR International from my site.
