Hebrew characters on SW2

hello, 

i've been experiencing problems with hebrew language characters in the various sw2 apps (such as messaging app, missed calls app, gmail app etc,)  hebrew characters just shows up as question marks (??????) which makes them (and the SW2) quite useless for hebrew language users. however the call handeling app works flawlesly with hebrew and phonebook and contacts shows hebrew characters without any problem. kinda weird all the other apps dont support it, when android 4+ versions nativley support hebrew and the call handling app handles it.

is there any fix for it, or a future fix/support intended ?????? (not hebrew, actual question marks this time...)

Hi,

I did a crosscheck with other smart watch vendors - Samsung Gear, Pebble - ALL of them support RTL languages so I can't understand why a great company like SONY can't do this too.

As mentioned before, the watch definitely supports the chracter set for example when you want to reject a call with a pre-defined SMS text message, there's no problem to send it in Hebrew and to see the message on the SW2. It seems as if the problem is only for messages (email, SMS, Whatsapp. etc).

Can anyone in SONY at least give some time of timetable when this will eventually be supported ???

It's so disappointing to have such a great device but effectively it's only giving 30%. Feels like driving in a Rolls-Royce with a 1300 cc engine.......
