Enable non-english charactar support (for example Cyrillic) in notifications #26

Closed petRUShka closed 8 years ago

Since 3.9 release it is possible to enable non-English characters including Cyrillic via official Android and iOS apps:

Cyrillic characters are now supported in notifications and alerts. Enable from the Pebble Time smartphone app: Menu » Settings » Watch Language » Selected Language.

But if you have only Jolla smartphone and rockpool app it is impossible to use pebble due to lack of cyrillic characters.

squares instead of Cyrillic characters

Thanks for this. I wonder if it's related to the pbl functionality.

petRUShka commented 8 years ago

I'm not sure, but my guess is "no" or at least "not directly".

P.S. But it is possible that above mentioned option force Pebble Time app to upload corresponding pbl file.

abranson commented 8 years ago

I think that might be exactly what that does.

20160407210611 For me it actually works fine, I suspect only older pebbles require certain localization files. Or could it be encoding problem? (reminds me old koi8 days)

abranson commented 8 years ago

Yes, this is the case - older Pebbles need the language files to supply their character sets, so implementing that should fix this. I'll close this as a dupe of #23.
