Change your Disney Plus language from your account settings
Disney Plus lets you change the language of the interface — the menus, buttons, and text you see on screen — through your account settings on any device. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device, but the setting lives in the same place: your account preferences.
The language you choose in account settings applies to all devices where you are signed in with that account. If you share your Disney Plus account with family members who speak different languages, each person can sign in with their own profile and set their own language preference separately.
Key Takeaways
- You change the interface language through your account settings, not through the app settings on your device.
- On a phone or tablet, tap your profile icon, select Account, then Preferences, then Language.
- On a computer, click your profile icon in the top right, select Account, then Preferences, then Language.
- On a streaming device like Roku or Fire Stick, navigate to your profile, select Settings, then Preferences, then Language.
- Disney Plus offers the interface in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and other languages depending on your region.
Change language on a phone or tablet
Open the Disney Plus app and tap your profile icon — it appears as a circle with your profile picture or initial in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tap Account, then scroll down and tap Preferences. Look for the Language option and tap it to see the list of available languages in your region.
Select the language you want and the change takes effect when ready. The entire interface — menus, search results, show titles, and descriptions — switches to your chosen language. If you change your mind, you can return to the same menu and pick a different language at any time.
Change language on a computer or web browser
Go to disneyplus.com and sign in. Click your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen and select Account from the dropdown menu. On the Account page, look for Preferences in the left sidebar and click it. Click Language and choose from the available options.
The change applies when ready in your browser. If you use Disney Plus on multiple computers or browsers, you may need to refresh the page or sign out and back in to see the new language take effect everywhere.
Change language on a streaming device
The exact steps depend on your device. On Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Google TV, open the Disney Plus app and navigate to your profile. Select Settings or Preferences — the name varies by device — and look for Language. Select your preferred language and confirm.
Some older streaming devices may not offer a language setting within the app itself. If you cannot find a Language option in Disney Plus settings, check whether your streaming device has a system-wide language setting that affects all apps. Changing the device language will change Disney Plus to match.
What languages are available
Disney Plus offers its interface in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and additional languages depending on which country you are in. The available languages change based on your region and Disney Plus subscription location.
If you do not see your language in the list, Disney Plus may not yet offer it in your region. You can check the full list of supported languages by visiting the Preferences page in your account — the app will only show you languages available where you are.
Changing audio and subtitle languages for shows and movies
The interface language is separate from the audio and subtitle languages for individual shows and movies. When you play a show or movie, you can usually change the audio language and subtitle language by clicking or tapping the audio icon (often labeled CC or with a speaker symbol) during playback.
Not every show or movie has audio or subtitles in every language. The available audio and subtitle options depend on what Disney has licensed for that specific title. A show might have English audio and Spanish subtitles but not Spanish audio, for example. You can see what languages are available before you start playing by checking the show or movie details page.
Troubleshooting language changes that do not stick
If you change your language preference but the interface reverts to English or another language, try signing out completely and signing back in. On phones and tablets, close the app entirely, then reopen it. On a computer, close your browser tab or window and visit disneyplus.com again.
If the problem continues, clear your browser cache or app cache. On a phone, go to Settings, find Disney Plus, and select Clear Cache. On a computer, use your browser's settings to clear cookies and cached data for disneyplus.com. After clearing the cache, sign back in and set your language preference again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can different people on the same account use different languages?
Yes. Each profile on a Disney Plus account can have its own language setting. If you share your account with family members, each person should create their own profile and set their preferred language in that profile's preferences. When they sign in with their profile, they will see the interface in their chosen language.
Does changing the interface language change the audio language of shows and movies?
No. The interface language and the audio language are separate. Changing your interface language to Spanish will make the menus appear in Spanish, but shows will still play in their default audio language unless you manually change it during playback. You set audio language for each show or movie individually.
What if my language is not in the list?
Disney Plus does not yet offer its interface in all languages. The available languages depend on your region. If your language is not listed, you can use the interface in English or another available language, and you can still change the audio and subtitle languages for individual shows and movies.
Will my language preference stay the same if I use Disney Plus on a different device?
Yes. Your language preference is tied to your account, not to a specific device. If you sign in with the same account on a phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device, you will see the same language across all of them. If you sign in with a different account on another device, that account will use its own language preference.
Do I need to change my Disney account language settings, or just Disney Plus?
You only need to change the language in Disney Plus itself. Your Disney account language (used for emails and your Disney account page) is separate from your Disney Plus interface language. Changing one does not change the other.
