Asian languages displaying

Hi all,

I just bought a Forerunner 245 m in the U.S. It cannot display Asian languages' characters which include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I know that the system does not contain these characters, but I need the display of these characters in messages and notifications. Is there any way that allows displaying? Thank you.

Here a French citizen living in the Philippines and who bought my Forerunner 245 M in the official shop of my residence. Here I have to use either Thai, Malay, Vietnamese or English. No other languages are offered to me. French is, however, an international language spoken on all continents, but it is not available. Here in the Philippines there are thousands of Chinese, or Korean residents who aren't fluent in English.

I have a hard time to understand this discrimination with language packs while we are in globalization economy, with world migrations. Worst, the present pandemic doesn't allow crossing the world to get a watch fitting to our native language, and BTW it's no ecological at all.

I used before a cardio-watch from another famous brand for cardio watch bought in Singapore and send by the official online shop here in the Philippines, and I didn't encounter any problem getting a menu in French.

Garmin unfortunately is not communicating enough on this point when you want to acquire a watch. We could be informed at least if the brand wants to maintain its language restriction policy.
