In almost the entire catalog, subtitles, closed captions (CC) and audio are offered in several languages; almost always in the original language of the content (usually in U.S. English) but there are also subtitles in other languages.

According to Disney Plus, for its original content, subtitles and dubbing are available in 16 languages and, for the rest of the content in the catalog, they are available in at least six languages (in order of preference in English, French and Spanish).

And you won't have any inconvenience activating the subtitles because Disney Plus is fully compatible with web browsers, tablets, mobile devices, streaming sticks, Smart TVs, video game consoles, and set-top boxes.
