Does Mini 3 / Plus support Chinese input?

RavenS

I've updated my Mini 3 Plus to the latest firmware (4.x). The device support Traditional Chinese system language, but input keyboard language does not show any Chinese input options.

However I found there's Chinese Pinyin keyboard and Chinese Zhuyin keyboard in Mini 3 Plus's internal storage (as show). I've restarted the device multiple times, and system settings still does not show Chinese keyboard options. Any help? Thanks a lot.

    Have checked it on my Mini 3+ and there is no possibility to choose a Chinese Pinyin keyboard and Chinese Zhuyin keyboard. I think that will need a sw update. I would writing to Garmin support.

    Supplement: added a “no” in the first sentence.

    So your Mini3+ can choose Chinese keyboard in system? This is so strange...

    Maybe it's a 67i situation once again ( US version 67i and Asia version 67i demonstrated entirely different Language, font, and input choices)

    If you don't mind me asking... where did you purchase your Mini 3+ (which area is it)?

    Mine seems to be a South East Asia version one (purchased in SEA and full of SEA language and English etc.)

    Sorry, I forgot somehow to add “no”face with spiral eyes The correct sentence is: “Have checked it on my Mini 3+ and there is no possibility to choose a Chinese Pinyin keyboard and Chinese Zhuyin keyboard. Sorry again for the confusion! Will correct my post above.

    Ah I see. It looks like a sw problem then. I'll contact Garmin support. Thanks a lot!

    Hi all, thanks for your patience on this. There is no Chinese language support for the keyboard at this time, but if you'd like to see that developed and implemented in the future, please be sure to let our design team know: https://garmin.com/ideas
