Pourquoi l'application DiDi est-elle uniquement en chinois pour moi ?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
Vous avez téléchargé DiDi en China et l'intégralité de l'interface est en chinois simplifié, sans option pour passer en anglais dans les paramètres.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
L'application principale DiDi en chinois ne propose pas d'interface en anglais ; l'application « DiDi Rider » en anglais est une version internationale distincte, soumise à des restrictions géographiques en dehors de ses régions de lancement.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Utilisez le mini-programme DiDi intégré à Alipay ou WeChat (interface en anglais, compatible avec les cartes étrangères), ou installez Amap/Baidu Maps qui intègrent un parcours de réservation DiDi en anglais.
