How to change the language on Disney+

By , and

Disney+ may be the only streaming platform your whole family needs. Since its inception in 2019, this content mecca has been one of the only places to watch Disney’s extensive list of movies and shows. But you can also watch Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Nat Geo, and 21st Century Fox titles too! 

But can you watch Disney+ in a different language? You sure can! Fortunately, it’s very easy to change the language of the Disney+ movie or show you’re watching, and we put together this step-by-step guide to walk you through the process.

How to change the language on Disney+

According to the official Disney+ support page, this is what you need to do:

  1. Log in to Disney+ with your email and password and start watching a movie or television show. If you’ve forgotten your password, it must be reset through the Disney+ website.
  2. Once your movie or show starts streaming, a box icon will appear on the upper right side of the screen and the player UI. Click it.
  3. You will see the language selection menu. Use that to choose your desired language and subtitle options.

That’s it. Even better, the Disney+ app will save your choices to your profile, so the next time you start playing a video, it’ll begin in your preferred language. You can have up to seven profiles per Disney+ subscription, too (including a kids profile option), so you’re covered if you live in a bilingual household. These instructions also apply to viewing Disney+ on a PC or Mac, except the box icon appears in the upper-right corner of your web browser.

Disney+ supports subtitles and audio dubs in 16 languages, including English, Spanish (Spain or Latin America), French, Dutch, Cantonese, Dansk, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil versions), German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Polish.

The Disney+ support page currently only mentions subtitle and foreign language support for web browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and game consoles, and streaming devices, except Roku. To access the Audio menu on your Roku, press the “*” button on the Roku remote. 

If you’re using one of the newer versions of the Apple TV streaming device, swipe down on your Siri Remote’s touchpad to bring up audio and subtitle settings.

It’s important to note that you cannot stream all Disney+ content in all languages. Newer movies and shows have all languages available, but older or more obscure programs — the 1940 version of Swiss Family Robinson, for example — only are available in English. Some of your success will depend on the types of things you watch.

Disney+ reveals the first trailer for Star Wars: Tales of the Empire
Barriss Offee in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire.

In 2022, Disney+ and Lucasfilm unveiled Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, a six-part series of animated shorts. A second season was announced soon after, and it's now just a month away. However, the show has undergone a name change to Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, and it's about to dive into even darker territory. Disney+ has dropped the first trailer for Tales of the Empire, and it chronicles the story of two women who embrace the Dark Side of the Force.

One of the main characters of Tales of the Empire is Barriss Offee, with Meredith Salenger reprising the role from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Barriss was once a member of the Jedi Order and the best friend of Ahsoka Tano. However, she betrayed the Jedi and Ahsoka when she framed her friend for a terrorist act as a protest against the Republic's ongoing war. The trailer reveals that Barriss not only survived the Jedi purge that occurred in Revenge of the Sith, but she was recruited to join the Empire's Jedi-hunting Inquisitors.

There’s a reason YouTube TV has found itself the leader in live-streaming video. In fact, it has about twice as many subscribers to its cable-TV replacement as the next biggest platform. And. among other reasons like price, reliability, and abundance of channels, it is just packed with features.
In fact, YouTube TV has so many features tucked away in there that you’ll be forgiven if you don’t spot them all at first. But we’ve done the legwork. We’ve watched hours and hours of YouTube TV. Weeks and months, really. We’ve flipped all the buttons. We’ve pressed all the switches. (Wait — reverse that.)
