Whether you're trying to switch to English, Spanish, French, or any other language, this guide will help you get it done in no time. So, grab your remote, and let's dive in!

Why Change the Language?

Before we get started, let's quickly touch on why you might want to change the language settings in the first place. There are several reasons, and they're all perfectly valid:

• Learning a new language: Immersing yourself in a language is a great way to learn. Watching your favorite shows in another language can help you pick up new words and phrases.
• Accessibility: Maybe your native language isn't English, and you prefer to watch content in your own language. This is especially important for older folks or anyone who's more comfortable with a specific language.
• Sharing with family: If you have family members who speak a different language, you might want to switch the language settings so they can enjoy the content too.
• Just for fun: Sometimes, it's just fun to watch something in a different language! It can give you a fresh perspective and make you appreciate the show in a new way.

No matter your reason, changing the language on Roku and Disney Plus is a simple process that can greatly enhance your viewing experience. So, let's get to it!

Changing the Language on Roku

First up, let's tackle Roku. The language you set on your Roku device will affect the menus, settings, and other system-wide text. Here's how to change it:

Step 1: Access the Settings Menu

• Turn on your Roku device: Make sure your Roku is powered on and connected to your TV.
• Navigate to the Home Screen: Press the Home button on your Roku remote. This will take you to the main menu where you can access all your apps and settings.
• Find the Settings Icon: Scroll through the options on the Home Screen until you find the "Settings" icon. It usually looks like a gear or cogwheel. Select it by pressing the OK button on your remote.

Step 2: Find the Language Option

• Scroll Down to "System": In the Settings menu, you'll see a list of options like "Network," "Display type," and "Audio." Scroll down until you find "System" and select it.
• Select "Language": Within the System menu, look for the "Language" option. It should be near the top of the list. Select it.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Language

• Browse the Available Languages: You'll now see a list of available languages. Scroll through the list until you find the language you want to use. Roku supports a variety of languages, so you should be able to find what you're looking for.
• Select Your Language: Once you've found your language, select it by pressing the OK button on your remote.
• Confirm Your Choice: Roku might ask you to confirm your choice. If it does, simply select "OK" or "Yes" to confirm.

Step 4: Restart Your Roku (If Necessary)

• Check if a Restart is Needed: In some cases, Roku might require you to restart the device for the language change to take effect. If you see a prompt asking you to restart, go ahead and do it.
• Restart Your Roku: To restart your Roku, go back to the System menu, select "Power," and then select "System restart." Your Roku will turn off and then back on, and the new language settings will be applied.

That's it! Your Roku interface should now be displayed in your chosen language. Now, let's move on to changing the language within the Disney Plus app itself.

Changing the Language on Disney Plus

Changing the language within the Disney Plus app is slightly different because it affects the audio and subtitle language for the content you're watching. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Start Playing a Video

• Open the Disney Plus App: Navigate to the Disney Plus app on your Roku and open it.
• Choose a Movie or TV Show: Browse through the Disney Plus library and select a movie or TV show you want to watch. It doesn't matter which one, as you'll be changing the language settings within the playback screen.
• Start Playing the Video: Begin playing the video.

Step 2: Access the Audio and Subtitles Menu

• Pause the Video: While the video is playing, pause it by pressing the OK button on your Roku remote.
• Look for the Audio and Subtitles Icon: Look for an icon that usually appears as a speech bubble or a dialogue box. This icon represents the audio and subtitles menu. It's usually located at the top-right or bottom-right corner of the screen.
• Select the Icon: Use your remote to select the audio and subtitles icon.

Step 3: Choose Your Preferred Language

• Browse the Available Audio Languages: You'll see a list of available audio languages for the video. Scroll through the list and select the language you want to hear.
• Browse the Available Subtitle Languages: Below the audio languages, you'll see a list of available subtitle languages. Scroll through the list and select the language you want to use for subtitles. You can also choose to turn subtitles off completely by selecting the "Off" option.

Step 4: Resume Playback

• Apply Your Changes: After selecting your preferred audio and subtitle languages, the changes should be applied automatically.
• Resume Playing the Video: Resume playing the video by pressing the OK button on your remote again. The audio and subtitles should now be displayed in your chosen languages.

Important Considerations for Disney Plus Language Settings

• Language Availability: Keep in mind that not all movies and TV shows on Disney Plus offer the same selection of audio and subtitle languages. The availability of languages depends on the specific content and the region you're in.
• Profile-Specific Settings: The language settings you choose within Disney Plus are usually specific to your profile. This means that if you have multiple profiles on your Disney Plus account, each profile can have its own language preferences.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, things don't go as smoothly as planned. Here are some common issues you might encounter and how to fix them:

• Language Not Changing on Roku:
  • Restart Your Roku: As mentioned earlier, sometimes a simple restart can do the trick. Go to System > Power > System restart.
  • Check for Updates: Make sure your Roku is running the latest software. Go to Settings > System > System update > Check now.
  • Factory Reset (Last Resort): If nothing else works, you can try a factory reset. Keep in mind that this will erase all your settings, so use it as a last resort. Go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset.
• Language Not Changing on Disney Plus:
  • Check Internet Connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, language settings might not load properly if your connection is weak.
  • Try a Different Video: It's possible that the video you're trying to watch doesn't support the language you're trying to select. Try a different movie or TV show to see if the issue persists.
  • Reinstall the Disney Plus App: Sometimes, the app itself might be the problem. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Disney Plus app on your Roku.
