Change your Paramount Plus language in your account settings

To change the language Paramount Plus displays, go to your account settings, select your profile, and choose a new language from the language menu. The change takes effect when ready across the app or website. You can set a different language for each profile on your account, so household members can each watch in their preferred language.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using the website, a phone or tablet app, or a streaming device. All routes lead to the same settings menu, but the navigation path varies by platform.

Key Takeaways

  • Language settings are found in your account profile menu, not in general app settings, and changes explore only to that profile.
  • Paramount Plus offers multiple languages for the interface itself, separate from the audio and subtitle languages available for individual shows and movies.
  • On a phone or tablet, tap your profile icon, then Settings, then Language to see all available options.
  • On a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV, navigate to your profile from the home screen, then select Settings and Language.
  • If you change your language and the app does not update, sign out completely, clear the app cache, and sign back in.

Change language on the Paramount Plus website

Open Paramount Plus in your web browser and sign in. In the top right corner, click your profile icon or name. A dropdown menu will appear with several options. Click Account or Settings (the exact label depends on your account type).

Once in your account settings, look for a Language or Preferences section. Click it to see all available languages. Select your preferred language from the list. The website will refresh and display in your chosen language when ready. If you do not see a language option in the main settings area, scroll down—it may be grouped under Regional Settings or Display Preferences.

Change language on the Paramount Plus mobile app

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon at the bottom of the screen (usually in the lower right corner). This opens your profile menu. Tap Settings or the gear icon.

In the Settings menu, look for Language or Display Language. Tap it to see the list of available languages for your region. Select the language you want and confirm your choice. The app will update when ready, and all menus, buttons, and text will display in your new language the next time you open the app.

Change language on streaming devices

On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or other streaming devices, open the Paramount Plus app and navigate to the home screen. Look for a profile icon or settings gear icon, usually in the top corner of the screen. Select your profile.

From your profile menu, select Settings. Scroll down to find Language or Display Language. Choose your preferred language and confirm. The app will restart or refresh to explore the change. If you do not see a language option in the profile settings, check the main app settings menu—some devices place language controls there instead.

Difference between interface language and audio/subtitle language

The language setting in your profile controls the interface language—the menus, buttons, and labels you see while browsing Paramount Plus. This is separate from the audio and subtitle languages available for individual shows and movies.

To change the audio or subtitle language for a specific title, start playing the show or movie, then tap the audio/subtitle icon (usually three horizontal lines or a speech bubble). Select your preferred audio language or subtitle language from the menu. These choices explore only to that title and do not affect your overall account language setting or other content you watch.

What to do if the language does not change

If you change your language setting but the app still displays in the old language, the app may not have fully refreshed. Sign out of your account completely. On most devices, this option is in Settings under Account or Log Out.

After signing out, close the app entirely. On a phone or tablet, swipe the app away from your recent apps list or force-close it through your device settings. On a streaming device, exit the app and wait 10 seconds before reopening it. Then sign back in. The app should now display in your chosen language.

If the problem persists, clear the app's cache. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find Paramount Plus, and tap Offload App (this removes the app but keeps your data). Then reinstall it from the App Store. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Paramount Plus > Storage > Clear Cache. On a streaming device, check the device's app settings for a Clear Cache or Clear Data option specific to Paramount Plus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can different people in my household watch in different languages?

Yes. Each profile on your Paramount Plus account has its own language setting. Create a separate profile for each household member, then set each profile to their preferred language. When someone signs into their profile, the interface will display in their chosen language.

Will changing my language affect my watch history or recommendations?

No. Changing your interface language does not reset your watch history, saved shows, or personalized recommendations. Your account data remains the same; only the language of the menus and labels changes.

What languages does Paramount Plus support?

Paramount Plus supports English, Spanish, and French for the interface in most regions. Some regions may have additional language options. The exact list depends on your location and account type. Check your language menu to see all options available to you.

If I change my language, will the shows and movies change language too?

No. Changing your interface language affects only the menus and buttons you see. The audio and subtitles for shows and movies remain in their original language unless you manually change them for each title using the audio/subtitle menu while watching.

How do I change the language back to English?

Follow the same steps you used to change the language the first time: go to your profile settings, find the Language option, and select English from the list. The change takes effect when ready.
