when it was written it was more for the visually impaired person. I do know they do sub titles on alot of there shows. I could have a sus for you and get back on what to do. I know with audio description it could be done through the player and i think the settings but may depend if you are doing it on a phone or computer.
Yes, you can use NVDA to read subtitles, but browse mode has to be on. If you use focus mode it probably will not work, never has for me, but what you do is enable subtitles, and then make sure all menus on the Netflix player are closed. Also, make sure Flash is completely removed from your computer, as well as silverlight, so Netflix's player defaults to the HTML 5 one. After you turn subtitles on, wait a few seconds. NVDA should start reading the subtitles, but this never works on a consistent basis. Same with YouTube. Although, if you have an Apple device, VO is far better at reading subtitles and even digital text when a movie plays.
So the AppleTV 4.4.3 update finally added Netflix for Mexico and it works fine, except for one little problem: When I tried to watch a movie, the language was set to "Portuguese", when I usually have it set to "English" when I watch it on the web. How can I change the language and subtitles so they reflect on AppleTV?
press up button in the apple remote during playback. screen apears with info about the movie and then you have to press the select button for more options. then you can select subtitle and language within the movie.
I have the same problem: can't change language/subtitle settings for Netflix Mexico. When I click on the centre button of the remote, it just pauses the movie/tv programme. Are you getting a language options menu when you click on the centre button?
I really wanted to love Netflix Mexico, but I don't at the moment. Hopefully there will be another update soon which adds a bit of consistency - at least a language/subtitle options menu for all movies. By playing around I've found that if you press at the top of the black ring on the remote, a box comes up with a short description of the film and occasionally it says hold the centre button for options. If it doesn't say that then you just have to watch the movie in Brazilian Portuguese and make up your own dialogue.
I'm having the same problem here. However neither the center button nor the up button +select solutions work for me. Those options just pause a movie that has several language options on PS3. Are there any other options or settings that you changed?
I'm having the same problem - in fact I am getting all the movies in English, but there are some which I would like to have in Spanish (for the kids mostly). I have verified on my machine that the movie has a Spanish soundtrack, but when I press and hold the middle button on the Apple TV, all I get is a menu to change the subtitles, but I cannot find where to change the audio. I have also tried changing my default language in Netflix, to no avail.
Have you tried in the Apple TV Settings menu, under Audio, to set the Language and Subtitles options to the desired language? I currently have English as the default Language (it was set to auto) and Spanish as the Subtitles. Yesterday I was watching something on Netflix and the subtitles appeared automatically without using the remote. Of course this may depend on the availability of audio/subtitles Netflix offers.
I am having issues setting the Audio Language in the Netflix App, for exaple in "the hunt fo the red octuber", through the website I can set up the audio language to English, Portuguese and Spanish, and the subtitles to Spanish and Portuguese, but in Apple TV 2 the Audio Language is always set to Portuguese, disregarding the Apple TV configuration which is Audio: English and Subtitles: Spanish. I also tried changing it to Default, but teh result was no different.
I've tried every suggestion posted here . . . the bottom line is, there is no language changing option, only subtitle. I think this is an issue that has to be fixed asap. I keep getting all the movies in portugese even after I change the audio & video options and the general language, and the same movie can be changed in my ps3, because it does have that option. This is getting ridiculous, it's a major bug that I feel is getting no attention . . .
Yeah, so far I have read a thousand forums, and follow every instruction posted. But for some reason, I think this is not happening to everyone or a lot of people at least, because I can't really find many posts of people complaining about this issue!
You know that feeling when you're glued to your favorite Netflix show, completely invested in the characters and storyline? What if I told you that the same addictive experience could actually double as your language tutor?
That's right, no more slogging through mind-numbing textbooks or monotonous grammar drills. With a few simple tricks and your trusty Netflix subscription, you can soak up new vocabulary, expressions, and cross-cultural insights simply by indulging in shows you genuinely want to watch.
Intrigued yet? In this guide, we'll break down how to learn a language with Netflix without wasting your time or going off track! I'll also clue you in on Lingopie's power-packed features and official extension that combine Netflix's expansive library and language learning.
Having this authentic exposure to how native speakers truly use the language is invaluable. You'll pick up on slang, jokes, idioms, and nuances that just can't be properly taught out of a book. Your ear will tune into the rhythm and cadences, helping you understand rapid-fire conversations more easily.
More importantly, streaming shows and films gives you a window into the culture itself. You'll learn about traditions, pop culture references, and daily life through the lens of entertaining stories. This breeds a deeper understanding, interest, and appreciation that stretches far beyond just memorizing vocabulary lists.
Now that you're convinced of Netflix's potential as a language-learning powerhouse, it's time to set yourself up for success. There are two main paths you can take - the easier, more feature-packed route by connecting Netflix to a dedicated language learning platform like Lingopie. Or the manual, do-it-yourself approach directly through Netflix's settings.
Lingopie is purposely designed to turn your favorite shows into comprehensive language lessons. By linking your Netflix account, Lingopie overlays features like clickable subtitles providing instant definitions, and other adaptive learning tools to review words you struggle with most.
Lingopie's innovative technology also tracks your viewing progress and associated vocabulary across devices too. That way you can naively switch between binging on your TV, tablet, or laptop without missing a beat.
Rather than cobbling together a suboptimal setup yourself, Lingopie effortlessly combines all the tools you need to learn rapidly into one seamless experience. Join the thousands of learners maximizing their Netflix binge time!
If you prefer the DIY approach, you can absolutely configure Netflix for language learning directly through their settings and extensions. Just keep in mind it will require more tech finagling upfront.
Selecting the perfect show is make-or-break when using Netflix for language learning. You want a series that doesn't just grip your interest but also matches your current skill level. A show too advanced will leave you frustrated, while one too easy won't challenge your abilities.
Check the subtitles and audio options available for the show. Target language subtitles can help you follow the dialogue and understand new vocab, while audio in the target language can improve your listening comprehension.
You can often choose between human translation (which gives you a figurative translation and helps with idioms and metaphors) and machine translation (which provides a word-for-word literal translation).
For language learning, we recommend popular TV shows on Netflix such as "La Casa de Papel" (Spanish drama), "Dark" (German show), and "Lupin" (French TV series). These shows are engaging, offer a range of language levels, and have multiple audio and subtitle options.
Lingopie carefully curates the finest shows on Netflix tailored to various language learner proficiency levels, ensuring users have a diverse and engaging selection to explore. Explore our guides designed to help you study your target language effectively using Netflix and Lingopie.
Passive watching alone won't maximize your language gains from Netflix. To truly level up your skills, you need to actively engage with and practice what you're learning. These active learning techniques will turn your Netflix binge from mere entertainment into an immersive study session:
The more you can interact with Netflix through these active methods, the better your overall retention and rapid mastery of the language. You're not just exposing yourself to vocabulary, but training your brain to use it in real-world scenarios.
That's where Lingopie's interactive learning tools truly shine. As you watch, our AI technology tracks the vocab you're struggling with most and generates personalized study materials like video flashcards to drive home those weak points. Plus, our adaptive learning system designs targeted drills and exercises to lock those fresh language skills into muscle memory.
Create a thoughtful language learning plan mapping out which shows to tackle in what order, as well as which active/passive techniques to apply. Regularly review your progress and adjust the plan as needed.
