How do I change the language?
The text you see in the HBO Max app is in English, however, you can change the audio or subtitle language for some shows and movies.
Some shows and movies have multiple audio and subtitle languages available. Here's how to change the audio track or subtitle language:
- Start watching something on HBO Max.
- Choose the Audio and Subtitles icon
in the video player. - Choose a language for Audio and/or Subtitles.

By default, shows and movies in languages other than English play with the original audio track and English subtitles.
Some shows or movies have language options (e.g. Spanish/English/Japanese) on their description page. Before choosing Play, toggle the language to your preferred language.
You can browse HBO Max to find shows and movies in other languages. Here's how:
- Open HBO Max.
- Do one of the following:
