How to Change the Language on Disney Plus

Change the language in your Disney Plus account settings

To change the language on Disney Plus, go to your account settings, select your profile, and choose a new language from the display language menu. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using a web browser, phone app, or streaming device, but the setting is always in the same place: your profile preferences.

Disney Plus offers the interface in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, and Portuguese, depending on your region. The language you choose controls the menus, buttons, and account pages — not the audio or subtitles of the shows and movies themselves, which you set separately for each title.

Key Takeaways

The display language setting is found in your profile menu under account settings, not in the app's main menu.
Changing the interface language does not change the audio or subtitle language of individual shows and movies.
On a web browser, you access language settings through your account icon in the top right corner.
On a phone or tablet, the language setting is usually under your profile icon or in the app's settings menu.
On a TV or streaming device, you may need to restart the app after changing the language for the change to take effect.

Change language on Disney Plus through a web browser

Open Disney Plus in your web browser and sign in to your account. In the top right corner, click on your profile icon or account menu — it usually shows your profile picture or initials.

Select "Account" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu. Look for an option labeled "Display Language," "Language," or "Preferences." Click on it and choose your preferred language from the list. Click "Save" or "explore" to confirm the change. The website should refresh when ready and display in your new language.

Change language on the Disney Plus mobile app

Open the Disney Plus app on your phone or tablet and sign in. Tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen (on most phones) or in the menu (on some tablets).

Tap "Account" or "Settings." Scroll down to find "Display Language" or "Language Preferences." Tap it and select your preferred language from the list. Tap "Save" or "Done." Close the app completely and reopen it to see the language change take effect. On some devices, the change appears when ready; on others, you may need to restart the app.

Change language on a TV or streaming device

Open Disney Plus on your TV, streaming stick, or set-top box and sign in to your account. Navigate to your profile icon using your remote control. This is usually in the top left or top right corner of the home screen.

Select "Account" or "Settings" from the menu. Use your remote to scroll down and find "Display Language" or "Language." Highlight it and press select or enter. Choose your preferred language from the list and confirm your choice. Exit the settings menu. You may need to restart the app or restart your device for the language change to appear on screen.

The difference between interface language and content language

The display language setting only changes the language of the Disney Plus menu, buttons, and account pages. It does not change the audio language or subtitle language of the shows and movies you watch.

To change the audio or subtitle language for a specific title, start playing the show or movie, then look for an audio or subtitle icon (usually in the bottom right corner of the player). Tap or click it and select your preferred audio language or subtitle language. These choices are made per title, not globally, so you can watch one show in English and another in Spanish without changing your account settings.

Troubleshoot if the language did not change

If you changed the language setting but the interface still appears in the old language, try closing the app or browser completely and reopening it. On TV devices and streaming sticks, a full restart of the device sometimes works better than just closing the app.

If you are using a web browser, try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then sign back in. If the language still does not change, sign out of your account completely, close the browser, and sign back in. On mobile devices, uninstall and reinstall the Disney Plus app as a last resort. Make sure you are signed in to the correct account — if you have multiple profiles on one account, each profile can have its own language setting.

Set a different language for each profile on your account

If multiple people use the same Disney Plus account, each profile can have its own display language. When you sign in to your profile, the interface appears in the language you selected for that profile. When another person signs in to their profile, the interface switches to their chosen language.

To set a language for a different profile, sign out of your profile, select the other profile, sign in with that profile's PIN or password if required, and then go to account settings and change the display language. Each profile remembers its own language preference, so you do not have to change it every time you switch profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing the language on Disney Plus change the subtitles on shows I am watching?

No. The display language setting only changes the menu and account pages. To change subtitles or audio for a show, tap the audio or subtitle icon while the show is playing and select a different language. You can do this for each show separately without changing your account language.

What languages does Disney Plus offer?

Disney Plus offers the interface in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, and Portuguese. The exact languages available depend on your region. Some regions may have additional languages or fewer options.

Can I change the language on Disney Plus if I do not remember my password?

You need to sign in to your account to access settings. If you do not remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Disney Plus sign-in page to reset it. Once you have reset your password and signed in, you can change the language in your profile settings.

Will changing the language affect my watch history or saved shows?

No. Changing the display language does not affect your watch history, saved shows, or any other account data. Your watchlist, viewing history, and recommendations stay the same regardless of which language you choose for the interface.

Why does the language keep changing back to English?

If you are using a shared account with multiple profiles, another profile may have a different language setting. When that person signs in, the interface switches to their language. Make sure you are signed in to your own profile before changing the language. If you are on the correct profile and the language still reverts, try signing out completely, closing the app, and signing back in.
