- Open the Netflix website
Open the Netflix website in a browser and sign in to your account.
- Click the little arrow near your profile picture
If you see the overview site of your account (showing TV shows and movies), click the little arrow in the upper right corner, near your profile picture.
- Select “Manage profiles”
In the dropdown menu, select “Manage profiles”. You will get to a site showing all available profiles. If you don’t see the overview, but the site showing the profiles instead (“Who’s watching?”), then simply click the “Manage profiles” button.
- Click the edit symbol
Go to your profile and click the edit symbol (it looks like a pencil).
- Select a language from the dropdown menu
On the “Edit Profile” page, go to “Language” and select a language from the dropdown menu.
- Click “Save”
Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
How it works on mobile
Changing the primary language on mobile is similar to changing it on your computer. Switching to another language is not possible in the Netflix mobile app, so you will have to do it in a mobile bowser of your choice.
- Open Netflix in a mobile browser and sign in.
- Type https://www.netflix.com/LanguagePreferences in the URL text field.
- You’ll see a list of languages. There, you can select the display language and also the language you want to watch the movies and shows in.
- When you’ve finished, scroll down and click “Save”.
As soon as you have followed these steps you can start inviting your friends to a “Netflix and Chill” evening.
