Hello, What is the status of Hebrew support exactly? I've noticed that songs tagged with Hebrew ID3s display the letters, but spelled backwards. I'm also not able to change the interface language. What exactly is the status of Hebrew Support? Is there a special Hebrew firmware I could install? Where can I download it?

You have a Sansa Clip or something else? Just making sure, but I think there are ways to change language on some of the different models.

I found this, not sure if it will help, but you could try and change the language to Hebrew.

In order to change your language.
Please go to Settings (which is the icon with 4 bars & 2 bars are moving up & down)....select Settings to go to sub menu, then scroll down until you see FM xxx, then the line above FM xxx should be your language menu. Select it and it will bring you to the list of the language and you should be able to choose your preferred language again.

Thank you for your response. I checked the menu, but Hebrew is not available in the Languages menu. Do you need a translator?

You might want to check and see if you have the latest firmware.

SanDisk has released the 01.01.29 firmware revision for the Sansa Clip. Download links and the release notes are available below.

The majority of people will be able to update his/her firmware through the Sansa Firmware Updater. There is even a how-to video that explains the process. If for any reason the aforementioned steps do not work for you, then please feel free to continue by trying the more "computer savy" steps, described below.


Windows Users can Connect the device in any Mode and follow the instructions below.

Mac and Linux users can connect their Clip in MSC mode and follow the instructions below.

MSC mode instructions:

  1. Turn on the Clip
  2. Put the device in Hold (move Hold button until orange is showing)
  3. Press and hold the Center Button
  4. Plug the mini-USB connector into the device (be sure the USB is plugged into the computer)
  5. Wait for the Clip drive to mount
  6. Follow instructions below and drag files to the Clip drive


For AMERICAS - You can download the .zip file by clicking on this link.

For EUROPE w/o FM - You can download the .zip file by clicking on this link.

For EUROPE w/ FM - You can download the .zip file by clicking on this link.  
  1. Extract the .zip file into a folder on your computer.
  2. Once extracted, drag the file to the root directory of your Sansa Clip.
  3. Disconnect the Sansa Clip and let it restart.
  4. The firmware update will now begin.
  5. Once it finally finishes doing its update, it will boot back up. Once its back to the main menu, head to "Settings" > "System Info", and verify the "Version" is now 01.01.29A.

Thank you, I have 1.01.29A, I've also tried the European version.

Here is the problem:

Hebrew words are not spelled R-to-L but L-to-R
The Menus are apparently not available in Hebrew

You know, I noticed that Japanese is a language option on my Sansa, but any Japanese characters in song or artist titles are not supported. Probably because they are not supported on the computer I'm transferring the files from?

Correct, to get the characters on the player, your compute must have the language pack of the appropriate desired language

I'm using a mac, no problem with language packs, and the characters do display, just in the wrong order. Does Samsung have a bug tracker I could submit to?

I'm assuming then you have a Samsung player?...
Wouldn't know, most companies use a Jira system (bug tracker) but that's internal. Best to contact the company directly and inform them of your findings.
