How do I change the language in Netflix back to English?

All my shows are now in spanish

Short summary:

  1. Start playing the show you want to watch.
  2. While the show is playing, hover your mouse over the screen or tap on the screen if you're using a touchscreen device.
  3. A menu should appear at the bottom of the screen - click or tap on the "Audio and Subtitles" icon (it looks like a speech bubble).
  4. Select "Audio" to see a list of available audio tracks and choose the audio track with the language you prefer.
  5. If subtitles are available in your preferred language, select "Subtitles" and choose the subtitle track with the language you prefer - once you've selected your preferred language options, click or tap on the screen to resume playback.

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
May I ask if you've tried changing the language yourself and what might have gone wrong?

  2. Select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Under the "Profile & Parental Controls" section, click on the language option.
  4. Choose "English" as your preferred language and click on the "Save" button to confirm the change.

Great, I'm glad it worked!
Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Customer Replay

But now I went to my tv and it's still in Spanish

You need to repeat the same steps there, but with your remote. The position of the language menu is the same

Customer Replay

ok- just did it and all good. Thanks!
