Netflix expands language options for TV viewers

Investing.com -- On Wednesday, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) announced an update that offers enhanced language options for television viewers. This allows users to choose from a full list of available subtitles and dubbing languages for any title on the platform. The move is part of Netflix’s effort to make its global catalog more accessible, as nearly a third of its viewership is from non-English language shows.

Popular titles such as the South Korean drama "Squid Game," Spanish series "Berlin," and the Oscar-winning German film "All Quiet on the Western Front" have seen increased popularity due to the availability of different language options. These titles have managed to attract a fan base beyond their country of origin.

Netflix provides subtitles in 33 languages and audio dubbing in 36 languages across its catalog. However, the exact number of available languages can vary depending on the title. Before this update, television viewers could only select from a limited number of languages.

The decision to expand language availability on TV came after Netflix received thousands of requests for more language options every month. Prior to this change, the expanded language feature was only available on mobile devices and web browsers.
