왜 DiDi 앱이 저한테는 중국어로만 표시되나요?
Last updated:
⚠️ SYMPTOM
중국에서 DiDi를 다운로드했는데 설정에서 영어로 전환하는 옵션도 없고 전체 인터페이스가 중국어 간체로만 표시됩니다.
🔍 MOST LIKELY CAUSE
DiDi 중국 본토 앱에는 영어 UI가 없습니다. 영어 버전의 'DiDi Rider' 앱은 별도의 국제 버전으로, 출시 지역 외부에서는 지역 제한이 걸립니다.
✓ HOW TO FIX
Alipay 또는 WeChat 내 DiDi 미니프로그램을 사용하세요 (영어 UI 지원, 해외 카드 결제 가능). 또는 영어로 DiDi를 호출할 수 있는 Amap/Baidu Maps를 설치해 이용하세요.
