So I just wanted to chime in to say that at least in my case, I suspect (in my unprofessional opinion) that the issue was not a language conflict or display issue, but a syncing issue, because both the website and app are taking to the Hebrew characters perfectly well now.
When I was trying to figure out what the problem was I found a thread from the old Memrise forum where tons of people were discussing various issues linked to improper/incomplete syncing, so it seems to be a pretty common occurrence. But over the past couple of days I’ve found that logging out and back in to both app and website seems to get everything in order.
Thanks, our Android developers we will be updating the Amazon store soon. The Amazon store and Xiaomi app store contains an outdated version which causes the special characters to appear like this.
Then could you also update huawei app store? After I install it from google play the problem fixed, but after I turn off the vpn, memrise can’t syn properly, then I still can’t use it, thank you
Would really appreciate getting the Nubia app store updated as well. Memrise came to me highly recommended from multiple sources and I was very disappointed to find that one of the world’s top language learning apps fails to display non-English characters. Of the many ways you could break functionality of a language-learning app, this has got to be pretty high on the list.
Hi, lately I’ve been experiencing this bug which managed to make my Japanese characters look weird. I’ve been using an old version of memrise and it happened on certain courses only, but now it has affected the whole memrise app. Updating to the newer version has done nothing. Clearing cache, uninstalling and the usual crap hasn’t done a thing.
I kept waiting on updates in the hope that it might be solved one day but it never did.
Now did I not only lose my 60day streak but also lost the ability to do anything at all.
Look at the image. I have no idea why it’s like this but it’s not really working. I can see Japanese characters just fine everywhere else except in memrise.
Many thanks for following-up. I am not aware if Memrise knows the situation in China. I bought a new Galaxy S7 Edge here, with latest Android version. However, it does not allow install of a working google play store (and FB, Gmail…). I need to root my phone, however there is no Android version out yet I can use. The only way is that you update the Xiaomi or other Chinese app stores.
REcently all of my students are complaining that the printed words are being displayed with weird letters. My android phone is also displaying the accented vowels in ASCII codes versus in plain text. This has been going on for a month or more.
Logging in and logging back in doesn’t help. The computer displays the vowels properly. Seems only to be a problem on the telephone.
I believe most of those people posting here are concerned that non-English characters aren’t displaying properly. I am writing that my English based characters when they include an accent-diacritical, display the accented character in ASCII code. So I think it may be related but i’m not writing in non-English characters, so i believe it’s different.
I have exactly the same odd characters as coasterfreak on my new Arabic courses, but only the new ones. They appear fine in the browser and fine on my iPhone (but no speed review on iOS!!), did anyone work out how to fix this yet?
For those of you who reinstalled, were you experiencing the same as coasterfreak’s picture? I don’t mind reinstalling if it will actually work but last time I upgraded I had real problems downloading my courses to work offline.
I have a class of 25 Chinese students all motivated to study but half of them is unable to because half of them have Chinese android phones, variying from oppo to huawei. Some of my courses English to Chinese show fine (for example on my xiaomi note 2) but some do not. Is there any progress here? Much appreciated!
