Expatriate in Shanghai since 201708, I don't speak Chinese and cannot use Didi for this reason. About half of the ~50 Didi rides I had (always accompanied by Chinese-speaking people) implied such a conversation with the driver, and nearly any of them speaks English. BTW this problem also arises with all apps I tried, as most are not available in English, and among the rest some are poorly translated and all display from time to time a slab of text and set of buttons in Chinese, leaving the ignorant me completely stuck.
