If your audio, subtitles, or Netflix profile are entirely in the wrong language or a preferred language is missing on a title, it may point to an issue with the settings on your profile or device. Follow the instructions below to adjust your language settings.
To change the language of the Netflix experience on your profile:
Sign in to Netflix.com on a computer or mobile browser.
Select your preferred profile.
Select your preferred language.
If your preferred language is already selected, select English and sign out, then repeat the steps above.
Return to the device experiencing the issue and sign out and sign back in to save this setting.
Due to the large number of languages available, Netflix only displays the 5-7 languages most relevant to you while streaming. Downloaded titles will only display the 2 languages most relevant to you.
If your preferred subtitle language is not listed as an option:
Visit the Account section of the Netflix website.
Under My Profile, select Language.
Select your preferred subtitle language.
Try to play your TV show or movie with your preferred subtitles again.
If your title still doesn’t display the correct subtitles, see Why aren't subtitles available in my language? for more information. If you find that you have to reset your subtitles every time you try to watch, play a title with a maturity rating of teens or above set to your preferred subtitle language. This will save your settings for future viewing.
