Non-English Audio Description

In the USA, some streaming services offer audio description language tracks in languages other than English.  This page discusses options and was last updated on January 27, 2023.

In January 2023, we introduced a new page -- Non-English AD -- to consolidate all the non-English language audio description titles from all the streaming services on one "Master List of Non-English Audio Described Titles."

 

Netflix's listing of foreign AD titles is huge!  They have over 2000 titles in over 50 languages!

 

The Disney+ streaming service not only offers audio description language tracks in English, but they also offer over 200 foreign language AD tracks in Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French Parisian, German, and Latin Spanish.

 

Prime Video offers over 100 titles in an ever-increasing number of languages.

 

Hulu offers just a few titles, in Spanish and Portuguese.

 

Apple TV+ offers audio description tracks in at least nine languages (English, French, Canadian French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, and Spanish Latin America, with Russian added in late 2021; plus the original language of the video if not one of those listed) plus captions in 40 languages. These titles are not listed in our Master Foreign AD list, as essentially every title on the Apple TV+ service has non-English AD available.

 

ALSO ... the broadcast TV network Telemundo offers five children's shows on Saturday morning in Spanish with Spanish audio description.
