Now, Netflix viewers watching shows and films on their televisions can effortlessly switch between the numerous (over 30) languages offered in Netflix’s library for dubbing and subtitles. Before this change, when using Netflix on a television, you had access to only a few languages (including the one set as your default), whereas on mobile devices and web browsers, the complete range of languages has always been accessible. Earlier, Netflix would display 5-7 appropriate languages on TVs and streaming devices linked to TVs based on your location and language preferences.

Beginning on April 2, Netflix users globally will have the freedom to choose from a wide range of subtitle and dubbing options for any title while streaming on their TVs. This is an eagerly awaited feature, as evidenced by the multitude of customer requests submitted monthly, according to Netflix. Additionally, viewers can opt to enjoy a title with dialogue in one language while reading subtitles in another (as demonstrated in the Netflix video showcasing a scene from Shonda Rhimes’ popular series “Bridgerton”).

Approximately one-quarter of all content viewed on Netflix comes from non-English productions. Among its most watched TV series and movies ever are “Squid Game” (from Korea), “Berlin” (Spain), “Lupin” (France), “Who Killed Sara?” (Mexico), “Troll” (Norway) and the Oscar-winning “All Quiet on the Western Front” (Germany). By offering a full multi-language update for TV streaming, Netflix aims to eliminate language barriers, making its diverse content library more accessible to viewers worldwide.

Netflix users often mention that they utilize the streaming platform for learning foreign languages, given the numerous options available. In line with this purpose, Netflix provides extra tools to facilitate language learning, such as personalizing subtitles and browsing content based on language when using a computer.

In total, Netflix offers subtitles in 33 different languages and dubs content in 36 distinct languages throughout its library.

Netflix provides content with subtitles in a variety of languages including Arabic, Basque, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, French-Canadian, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

Netflix’s dubbed titles can be enjoyed in the following languages: Arabic, Basque, Bengali, Cantonese, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Malayalam, Mandarin, Marathi, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.
