Netflix will offer more languages for subtitles and dubbing when watching on a TV

If you’re watching Netflix shows and movies on a TV, the streaming service will now offer many more language options for subtitles and dubbing.

Starting today, you’ll be able to “pick from the full list of available languages for any title when watching Netflix on your TV,” Netflix said in a blog post. When watching on a TV before this change, Netflix would only show “5-7 relevant languages on TV and TV-connected devices based on your location and language settings,” according to a support page.

A video from Netflix, which I’ve included below, shows what this looks like in practice: for example, a user can watch Bridgerton, a show in English, with Spanish dubbing and Korean subtitles or switch to a combination like Japanese dubbing and Portuguese subtitles.

This level of flexibility is already available when watching Netflix on a mobile device or a web browser, but Netflix says it’s been a “much-anticipated” feature for TVs.
