and you just changed the language of band to Hebrew then what? Notifiy app must work to stay at Hebrew language!

 

[tomerr]

Hebrew (unlike Arabic) is not supported by MB3, so no Hebrew option..
Notify & Fitness does not have to stay running for the Arabic language option i choose in N&F to stay on. that's my conclusion so far

Hello, I'm new here and I wanted to know the most updated firmware to use to get Arabic & English on the mi band 3, whether the phone langauge is in English or Arabic, I tried searching but I found alot of modified firemware and not sure which one to use.

MB3 natively support Arabic. just make sure you're using the latest official Mi Fit version and change your phone's language to Arabic and you're all set

but i want it to show arabic with my phone in english and show both arabic and english notifications, can it do that? cause all i get is english ones and ???? for arabic

this is where it gets tricky..you can flash English custom Bold Font fw which will (probably) show Arabic letters no matter what language your phone is set to. BUT, it will show all notifications text in Arabic left to right. Basically in order to have proper notification text in MB3 with RTL languages currently, you need to set the band to believe you're using Arabic language - that's possible by using Notify & Fitness and stop using Mi Fit at all

Where can I get the English Custom Bold Font? also does it support Emoji? also another question , would it still be an issue if I used with Custom Mi Fit??

Firmware 2.0.0.4 | English Bold Font | Xiaomi Mi Band 3 | GeekDoing
don't know about the Emoji,
and yes, Mi Fit (custom or not) will set the band's language to your phone's language every time it syncs - which means back to LTR

So i tried what you said, but i still get ????? instead of arabic text on band.

What did I do wrong?

 

[tomerr]

no idea, could be this font doesn't show Arabic for some reason - only when the phone is set Arabic. try changing the phone's language again to Arabic and see if you get proper text. if so, I guess only the Notify & Fitness language change option could help you. There's a custom Arabic fw on the forum, but it's beta and hasn't been tested
