This article will help you to change language on disney plus on roku. Disney is a common household name known throughout the globe, so it only makes sense that they make their content available in many different languages.
Disney Plus, in particular, does not only offer a massive back catalog and new originals to stream from the likes of Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic, but they also make them more accessible to the masses by providing audio dubs and subtitles in up to 16 languages.
Disney+ usually sets the audio language as per the device’s default settings, whether you’re using it on your phone, tablet, game console, browser, or Roku. However, like most streaming services, changing the language track or subtitles is a few taps away.
On Roku, the process is slightly different than on other compatible devices. This handy guide will show you how to change the language on Disney Plus on Roku.
Changing the Audio language on Disney+ on Roku
Disney Plus, at the time of writing, supports audio tracks and closed captions in sixteen languages, including English, Spanish (Latin America or Spain versions), Cantonese, Dutch, French, Finnish, German, Italian, Icelandic, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal versions), and Polish. Here are the steps to changing the audio language within the player of the Disney+ Roku channel:
- Press the Home button on your remote and open Disney+ from your Roku’s channels list.
- Select your Profile, then choose to watch any movie, show, or documentary from the catalog.
- When you’re in the video player, press the Star ✱ button on your Roku remote to bring up the “Audio track” menu.
- Finally, choose your desired language track from the sidebar.
That’s it! The stream should rebuffer for a second and play the content in the audio language you’ve selected.
Changing the Subtitle Language on Disney+ on Roku
If you own a newer Roku model, you can toggle subtitles and change the subtitle language on Disney Plus on the fly. The process goes as follows:
- Launch the Disney+ channel from your channels list, then select your preferred profile on the “Who’s Watching” screen.
- Next, choose a title from the library and start watching.
- In the player, press the UP navigational button on your Roku Remote, then scroll to the Audio and Subtitles option.
- Choose your desired subtitle language from the Subtitles bar.
If you don’t find the option, press the Star ✱ button on your remote and select Caption track in the “Closed Caption/Audio Configuration” menu. You can then cycle through the available subtitle languages using the navigation buttons.
Those running the Disney+ channel on an older Roku model may need to go to the “Audio and Subtitles” menu on the description page of a selected movie or TV show.
