Netflix offers a large selection of international videos through its streaming service, and no matter which device you use to watch Netflix, you can change your subtitle settings from the control panel embedded in the player. You can access the subtitle settings on most devices by selecting the "Dialog" icon or by pressing "Down" on a video game controller. Some devices, such as Google TV, Roku and many Blu-ray players, display audio and subtitle settings when you select a video, and you can change your settings during playback using your remote control.

Tip
In iOS, if you don't see the option to disable subtitles in the playback controls for a particular video, you can disable them globally from the Settings menu. Tap “Settings,” “General” and “Accessibility,” then choose “Closed Captions + SDH.” Like Apple TV, iOS controls subtitles and captioning for all content through this global feature. Slide the “Closed Captions + SDH” option to Off to disable subtitles for all iOS apps.
On Apple TV and iOS devices, you can also change subtitles' look and feel from the global Subtitles and Captioning menu. Select the “Style” submenu to control settings such as color, font, size and opacity. To enable these settings in iOS, you must turn off the “Video Override” option in the same menu.
