How To Change The Language On Hulu

By default, Hulu shows and programs are in English. If you speak English, this is great, but if you prefer Spanish, this isn’t so great.

Hulu does not allow you to change the language of the entire service, but you can change the language of the programs you watch. Here’s how to change Hulu’s language.

How to Change the Language on Hulu on Xbox

With Xbox Entertainment, you have access to all your streaming devices at once.

Using Hulu, you can change the language of the program you’re watching. Follow these steps:

1. Pull up the playback bar by pressing the Up button or swiping down on your remote.
2. The Settings menu can be accessed by clicking the Gear icon on the bottom left of the playing bar. Swipe up or press it.
3. When you open Settings, you’ll see Captions & Subtitles options for the current program.
4. Choose your preferred language.

Changing captions in this way will preserve settings across shows, so the next show will have the same settings applied immediately.

Depending on the language, some programs will have different listings. As an example, South Park has a separate listing in Spanish called South Park en Español. In your Hulu shows, you will need to find the correct version of the show.

How to Change the Language on Hulu on PS4

Your PS4 Hulu app will save these settings for the next show, so you don’t have to change subtitles every time.

Your show list should include alternate-language programs. In most cases, they are the only way to get Spanish audio rather than just subtitles.

1. Pull up the playback bar by swiping down on your remote.
2. To access the Settings menu, swipe up or press.
3. For the program you’re currently watching, you’ll see Captions & Subtitles options in Settings.
4. You can either turn it on or off. Subtitles can be viewed in a variety of languages.
5. The settings will be saved for all future shows, so you won’t have to change them again until you want to turn off subtitles.

To get the best audio and experience, look for the Spanish version of the shows you’re watching.

It would be a shame not to be able to fully comprehend the program you’re watching with the Fire TV Stick.

Is Hulu Available in Other Countries?

You might be wondering where you can watch Hulu. If you’re traveling overseas, you won’t be able to watch Hulu because it has not expanded beyond the United States.

Hulu has previously attempted to launch a service in Japan, aptly named Hulu.jp, but that effort has not been successful. A Japanese company acquired Hulu.jp and maintains its programming for its viewers using Hulu’s existing infrastructure.

Hulu’s arrival on the global stage is uncertain, so it’s unclear when it will arrive.

Hulu may not be available outside of the USA, so you may want to consider using a VPN. With a VPN app, you can change your digital location to access all of Hulu’s shows from anywhere (with internet access).
