Why Hebrew is not one of the languages supported in garmin Express or garmin connect?

I have forerunner 35 from US. Can't see text in Hebrew. 

  • The FR35 is a rather old model and it has a very limited Unicode support. I am afraid you will need a newer watch if you really need Hebrew.

  • For example Garmin Instinct could interest you - it is only a slightly more expensive model  (you can get it for under $200), but it is light years away from the FR35, and it does support Hebrew. Of course, you could get also newer, even more sophisticated models, but the Instinct offers the best value for a very reasonable price.

    Thank you for your answer. I don't understand how come there are a lot of languages offered in garmin connect including even Greek (for example) but not Hebrew. Isn't it just a matter of settings in the app?

    If Hebrew is not in the language options, then not. The full Unicode table includes several dozens  of alphabets, but in the older models there is room for just couple of them, hence the limitation. Newer models with bigger memory have a more compete Unicode table.

    Sorry but it doesn’t make any since 

    i have the old VIVOSMART HR and it’s now 5 years old withme. but it shows all Unicode languages arabic, hebrew, chinese ... etc.

    forerunner 35 is yet much newer and doesn’t support these languages?!! I find it wired 

    i think there is something with the software

    Yes, of course, it is something with the software - the Hebrew fonts are simply not present in the software version you have on the watch. However, as far as I see on Garmin's website, there is also a Hebrew version of the software for FR35 available:

  • However, in fact you were asking about the Hebrew version of the Garmin Connect application - I have just looked at it, and the Hebrew version is indeed not available for the phone app.
