Overview
- Disney+ expanded its language support to include 17 new audio languages, bringing total audio options to 58, increased app-language options to more than 30, and added closed captions in 42 languages while introducing a right-to-left interface for languages like Arabic and Hebrew.
- Newly added audio languages include Arabic, Croatian, Hebrew, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu as part of the 17-language rollout.
- Subscribers can change audio and subtitle tracks from the Audio & Subtitles menu while content is paused and set the app language by going to Profile → Edit Profiles → App Language.
- Disney presents the change as part of a broader localization push that also involved partnerships for regional content and recent product work such as Hulu profile integration, the debut of Verts, and new advertising technology.
- These updates are reported by Disney and summarized by MickeyBlog, so the rollout reflects company disclosures and could boost accessibility, local relevance and viewer retention in markets across the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia.
