After Xiaomi update the Mi Fit app to 3.4.2 (same 3.4.4.1), the Weather part forecast site always shows Chinese if your phone's system language not in English. And if your firmware without Chinese fonts, it shows "???".

For this problem, there is one idea can solve it. The problem comes from the Mi fit app itself, not come from the firmware.

If your Mi fit app is 3.4.2 (or 3.4.4.1), you can use GadgetBridge with our customs firmware 1.2.0.8 to flash your band to the language you want.

Then unpair your band with Mi fit app, after that, delete the Mi fit app. Download from here: MI FIT 3.4.1(previous version). Install it and connect your band with the app. Then I think, the "Chinese ???? problem" has been solved.

If you have any problems about that, follow this thread. Thanks

You can have a modded version of mi fit that certain strings must be in your language. I have done this for the Greek language and now notifications are in Greek.

I still have some Chinese characters at my weather info. It says today on top, shows an icon, then temperature and then the Chinese characters on the bottom. Is there a way to get these in English?
