How to Change Netflix Language: Subtitles & Audio (2026)

Netflix lets you pick the subtitle and audio language for every show, and set a separate language for its menus. Here is where each setting lives on a TV, a computer and a phone, and what to do when the language you want is missing.

Change subtitles or audio while watching

1. Start the show or movie
2. Computer: move the mouse and click the speech-bubble icon (Audio & Subtitles). TV: press up or down on the remote. Phone or tablet: tap the screen, then tap Audio & Subtitles
3. Pick an audio language on one side and a subtitle language on the other
4. Netflix remembers the choice for that profile, so the next episode keeps it

Change the Netflix menu language

1. Open netflix.com in a browser and sign in
2. Go to Account, then Profiles, and choose your profile
3. Open Language and pick the display language
4. Save. Menus switch on every device the next time you open Netflix

When the language you want is missing

• Netflix may show only some subtitle languages on a device. Add the languages you want in your profile's language settings on netflix.com, then restart the show
• Some titles simply do not have every language. Try another title to check
• Sign out and back in on the TV or app if a new setting does not appear

Show two subtitle languages at once

Netflix shows one subtitle line at a time. Language learners often want two: the original line to learn from, and a translation to check meaning. A dual subtitles extension adds the second line in your browser.

FluentAI does this on Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+ and HBO Max, in Chrome and Firefox. The free plan includes dual subtitles, click-a-word translations and flashcards of the words you save.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find my language in Netflix subtitles?

Netflix may show only some subtitle languages on a device, based on your profile's language settings. Add the language under your profile's language settings on the Netflix website, then restart the show. Some titles do not have every language at all.

Does changing the subtitle language change it for my whole account?

No. Subtitle and audio choices apply to the profile you are watching on. Other profiles keep their own settings.

Can Netflix show two subtitle languages at the same time?

Not on its own. A browser extension such as FluentAI adds a second subtitle line on Netflix in Chrome and Firefox, so you can read the original and a translation together.
