The method for changing the language on Disney+ App varies because Disney Plus supports many devices such as Smart TVs, Mobile Phones (Android & Ios), TV sticks / Android boxes, gaming consoles like Xbox and PS5, and also your PC through the web browser or Windows App (Windows 10 and above).

When we talk about the language of any online streaming platform, we need to be more specific as one is App Language that relates to the App interface while the other two are subtitles and audio language. The subtitle language relates to the language in which subtitles are shown while the audio language relates to the vocals of characters during the streaming video.
Disney Plus offers various App languages to choose from but subtitles and audio language may vary as per the content. Currently, Disney+ supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, and Hindi to interface with its user. However, the supported languages are increasing day by day as Disney+ is expanding its network in other regions as well.
