Change your Disney+ language in account settings or while watching
You can change the language Disney+ uses for its interface — menus, buttons, account pages — by going to your account settings. You can also change the language of individual shows or films while you are watching them, if that version is available. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using a phone, computer, or streaming device, but the settings menu is the same place on all of them.
Disney+ offers its interface in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, and several other languages depending on your region. The language you choose for the interface does not affect what shows or films are available to you — it only changes the words you see on menus and buttons.
Key Takeaways
- Interface language (menus and buttons) is set in your account settings under "General" or "Preferences," and the change applies across all your devices.
- Audio and subtitle language for individual shows is set while you are watching, using the audio or subtitle button on the player itself.
- Not every show or film has audio or subtitles in every language, so availability depends on the title you are watching.
- If you share your account with others, changing the interface language affects only your profile, not theirs.
Change interface language on a phone or tablet
Open the Disney+ app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Tap "Account" or "Settings" (the exact wording depends on your device). Scroll down and tap "General" or "Preferences." Look for "Language" or "Display Language" and tap it. Select the language you want from the list. The change takes effect immediately, and all menus will display in your chosen language the next time you open the app.
If you are using a shared account with multiple profiles, each profile can have its own language setting. Switch to your profile first, then follow the steps above. Other people using the account will see their own language choice when they log into their profile.
Change interface language on a computer or web browser
Go to DisneyPlus.com and log in. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account." Click "General" or "Preferences." Find "Language" or "Display Language" and click the dropdown menu. Choose your language from the list and click "Save" or "Apply." The website will refresh in your chosen language.
If you use Disney+ on multiple browsers or computers, you will need to change the language on each one separately, because the setting is tied to your browser or device, not just your account.
Change audio and subtitle language while watching
Start playing a show or film. Look for the audio or subtitle icon on the player — it usually looks like a speaker or a speech bubble. Click or tap it. A menu will appear showing available audio languages and subtitle languages for that title. Select the one you want. Your choice applies only to that title; other shows will use whatever audio or subtitle language you choose next time.
Not every title has audio or subtitles in every language. If the language you want does not appear in the menu, that version is not available for that particular show or film. Disney+ adds new language versions over time, so a language that is not available now may be added later.
Change language on a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, or Fire Stick
Open the Disney+ app on your device. Go to your profile icon and select "Settings" or "Account." Look for "General" or "Preferences" and tap "Language." Select your language from the list. The change takes effect when you return to the home screen.
The exact menu names vary by device — Roku calls it "Settings," Apple TV calls it "Account," and Fire Stick calls it "Preferences" — but the language option is always in the same general area. If you cannot find it, check your device's help documentation for the specific path.
What to do if your language is not in the list
Disney+ supports a limited number of languages for its interface. If your language is not available, the app will default to English or the language your device is set to use. You can still watch shows and films in other languages by changing the audio or subtitle language while watching, even if the interface itself is in English.
Disney+ occasionally adds new interface languages, so check back in your settings periodically if you are looking for a language that is not currently listed. You can also contact Disney+ support through your account to ask about language availability in your region.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing the interface language affect what shows I can watch?
No. Changing the language of menus and buttons does not change what content is available to you. All shows and films in your region remain available regardless of what language you choose for the interface.
Can different people on my account use different languages?
Yes, if you have separate profiles. Each profile can have its own interface language setting. Switch to your profile, go to settings, and change the language — it will not affect other people's profiles.
What if a show does not have audio in the language I want?
You can watch it with subtitles in your language if that version is available. Click the subtitle button while watching and select your language. If neither audio nor subtitles are available in your language for that title, that version simply is not offered by Disney+ yet.
Do I need to change the language on every device I use?
Yes. The interface language setting is stored on each device or browser separately. If you watch Disney+ on your phone, tablet, and computer, you will need to change the language on each one individually.
How do I change the language back to English?
Follow the same steps you used to change it the first time — go to your account settings, find the language option, and select English from the list. The change takes effect immediately.
