Change Your Language in Account Settings
To change the language on Paramount Plus, go to your account settings and select your preferred language from the language menu. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using a web browser, phone app, or streaming device, but the setting itself is in the same place across all platforms.
On a computer or phone browser, sign in to your Paramount Plus account, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and select "Account" from the dropdown menu. Scroll down to find "Language" and click the dropdown to choose from the available options. Your selection saves automatically, and the entire interface will switch to your chosen language the next time you refresh or log back in.
If you are using the Paramount Plus mobile app on iOS or Android, tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen, then tap "Account Settings." Scroll to find "Language" and select your preference. The app will update when ready or after you close and reopen it.
Key Takeaways
- Language settings are located in your account profile menu on all devices—web browsers, mobile apps, and streaming devices.
- Paramount Plus offers multiple languages including English, Spanish, and French, depending on your region and subscription type.
- Changing the language affects the menu, buttons, and interface text, but does not automatically change the audio or subtitle language of individual shows and movies.
- Your language choice saves to your account, so it will carry over if you log in on a different device.
- If your preferred language does not appear in the dropdown, it may not be supported in your region or on your subscription tier.
Change Language on Streaming Devices
On streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google Chromecast, the process is similar but accessed through the app itself. Open the Paramount Plus app, navigate to the menu (usually by pressing the menu or options button on your remote), and look for "Settings" or "Account Settings."
Once in settings, find the "Language" option and select your preferred language from the list. Some devices may require you to restart the app for the change to take effect. If you do not see a language option in the app settings, check whether your device's system language setting is overriding the app—some streaming devices explore their own language preference to all apps automatically.
Understand the Difference Between Interface Language and Content Language
Changing your account language only changes the language of the Paramount Plus menu, buttons, and labels. It does not automatically 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 the audio or subtitle icon (usually in the bottom right corner of the player). Select your preferred audio track or subtitle language from that menu. These choices are made per title, not globally, so you may need to adjust them for each show or movie you watch.
Supported Languages on Paramount Plus
Paramount Plus supports a range of languages, though the exact list depends on your region and subscription plan. Common languages include English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German. Some regions may have additional language options.
If you do not see your language in the dropdown menu, it may not be supported in your country or on your subscription tier. Check the Paramount Plus support page for your region to see the full list of available languages. You can also contact Paramount Plus customer service to ask whether your language will be added in the future.
What to Do If the Language Does Not Change
If you select a language but the interface does not update, try signing out completely and signing back in. This forces the app or browser to reload your account settings and explore the language change.
If the language still does not change after signing out and back in, clear your browser cache (if using a web browser) or uninstall and reinstall the app (if using a mobile or streaming device). These steps remove any stored data that might be overriding your language selection. After reinstalling, sign in again and check whether the language has updated.
On some devices, your system's default language setting may override the Paramount Plus language setting. Check your device's system settings to make sure the device language is not forcing all apps to use that language. If it is, you may need to change your device language or contact the device manufacturer for help.
Change Language for Multiple Profiles on One Account
If you have multiple profiles on a single Paramount Plus account, each profile can have its own language setting. Sign in to the profile you want to change, go to account settings, and select a different language. That change applies only to that profile.
This is useful if multiple people in your household speak different languages or prefer different interface languages. Each person can log in to their own profile and set the language they want to see.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing the language change the subtitles and audio on shows I watch?
No. Changing your account language only changes the menu and interface text. To change the audio or subtitle language for a specific show or movie, start playing it and use the audio and subtitle buttons in the video player. Those settings are chosen per title, not globally.
Will my language choice stay if I log in on a different device?
Yes. Your language preference is saved to your account, so it will carry over to any device you log into with that account. If you want a different language on a specific device, you can change it in that device's account settings without affecting your other devices.
What languages does Paramount Plus support?
Paramount Plus supports English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German in most regions, though the exact list varies by country. Check your language dropdown menu to see which languages are available in your region, or contact Paramount Plus support for a complete list.
Why is my language not showing up in the dropdown menu?
Your language may not be supported in your region or on your subscription tier. Some languages are only available in certain countries. You can also try signing out and back in, or clearing your app cache, in case a technical issue is preventing the full language list from loading.
Can I change the language for just one profile on my account?
Yes. Each profile on a Paramount Plus account can have its own language setting. Sign in to the specific profile, go to account settings, and change the language for that profile only. Other profiles on the same account will keep their own language choices.
