Hello guys, i am having a weird issue with the Hebrew language.
First of all thanks to all of you as the Hebrew itself works amazing. i am using Firmware 2.2.0.14 | English Bold Font firmware.

i am using notify and fitness app and configured whatsapp in there to RTL on in Settings/Advanced.

The thing is i see it RTL, but some messages i see Down to Up. Like the lines are inversed and the text starts from buttom up. anyone had this issue any maybe know how to fix it?

instead of using RTL setting in N&F , change band's language to Arabic . you will get perfet RTL support (as long as you stopped using Mi Fit completely)

you're getting confused because there are too many replies in this thread which imply you can enable Hebrew notifications & keep the band's menus in English, without flashing a custom firmware - that is simply WRONG.

I'm assuming you're using Android:

1. Install latest official Mi Fit version to make sure your band is updated to fw 2.0.0.4 & current resources
2. Flash custom English fw Firmware 2.0.0.4 | English Bold Font | Xiaomi Mi Band 3 | GeekDoing
3. Change band language in Notify & Fitness (latest version) to Arabic
4. Uninstall Mi Fit - if you want to keep RTL notifications
will it work with the new custom firmware:
Firmware 2.2.0.14 | English Bold Font | Xiaomi Mi Band 3 | GeekDoing

make sure to update mi fit to latest version & let it update your band to 2.2.0.14 fw & resources. only then flash the newer custom bold font fw. rest is the same
hey,
i installed the custom bold font after downloading the official version from the mi fit. then i switch to arabic at n&f and uninstall mi fit.
sadly i still see ??? instead of hebrew chars. do you have any idea how can i fix this issue?
thanks!

are you using RTL setting in N&F or setting the band's language to Arabic with language settings?

i did set the language to arbic (in tools settings), and enabled RTL in app, but "test display" is with "???" and "test display text" is ok. an sms display "new message.view it on home" i dont know what it means(pressing the button deletes the message)

you won't be able to actually see the notifications text (sms/app alerts) without buying the app - that's when you get "new message......." notification . the option is called "show notification text" and it's a "pro" option , which you can enable for each app under notifications tab (envelope icon) in the app.
i don't use N&F myself , but when tested it using Arabic language settings, the Hebrew notifications on band were displayed RTL perfectly. at the moment it is the only stable workaround for showing RTL properly

you don't even need to uninstall n&f..just stop using it & end its process (from running services under developer options) . same goes for the firmware. no need to do anything
