The most detailed Netflix Chinese subtitles and Chinese interface setting tutorial, 2 minutes Chinese Netflix account

If the Netflix movie you watch cannot be played with the Simplified/Traditional Chinese subtitles you want, it may not be available in your region. You can refer to the following method to change the subtitles.

Does Netflix have a Chinese account?

Netflix does not have a Chinese account. All Netflix accounts can be set to Chinese after using some methods. When the movie is playing, select "Subtitles" in the lower right corner to see the languages supported by the movie. Generally, Netflix's self-made dramas basically support all mainstream languages.

Specifically, Netflix's processing mechanism for Chinese is: Netlfix will automatically set the language to Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese according to the region of your IP when you visit the Netflix website.

If your IP location when accessing Netflix is in Singapore, India, or Malaysia , after you set "Chinese", the interface defaults to "Simplified Chinese". In addition, if your IP is in all other countries or regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Turkey, etc. , then the "Chinese" you set is traditional Chinese.

How to Save Money on a Netflix Account

method one

Change your Netflix account registration region using scientific online tools like Panda VPN to lower your subscription costs. This method doesn't affect the content you can watch, and not only that, it will also help you unblock your Netflix library in other parts of the world.

For the specific operation method, you only need to connect to the servers in Brazil, Argentina, Peru and other regions before registering an account, and then complete the registration according to the normal registration process after clearing the browser cookie. In this way, as long as you do not terminate the contract, your subscription fee will remain low. It should be noted that payment methods and currency settlements are slightly different in different regions, but payment methods such as credit cards and debit cards can be used in common. .

Method Two

If you want to lower the cost of your Netflix subscription, you can also cut your subscription cost by 80% through some mainland China Netflix co-sharing sites. At present, the relatively large Netflix co-rental platforms include: Honey Store , Netflix Store, and Netflix Town .

While payments can only be made through mainland platforms such as Alipay, premium accounts are well worth trying for less than $3 per month. I myself regularly co-rent Netflix and HBOMAX with other people on these platforms, have had no incidents so far, and having customer service to help is a great way to save money.

The difference between simplified and traditional Chinese subtitles in Netflix

The support of Netflix Chinese subtitles in different regions is not the same. In some regions with more Chinese, almost all videos support Chinese subtitles, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia . And Netflix US, Japan and other Chinese subtitles are less, only the new Netflix original series will support Chinese subtitles.

Here is a compilation of Netflix sources on the Internet:

• US : More than 5,800 programs, only Netflix originals have Chinese subtitles, most of them do not have Chinese subtitles
• Japan : Nearly 5,000 programs, most with Chinese subtitles
• Minato : More than 3,000 programs, basically with Chinese subtitles
• Taiwan : There are slightly more resources than the port area, and basically there are Chinese subtitles
• Singapore : a district with the most resources in Asia, basically all have Chinese subtitles

There are differences between simplified and traditional Chinese. You may think that both are Chinese subtitles, which can be understood no matter what, so you don’t need to set them up. But the reality is that the Chinese interface can be complicated or simple, but if you are often distracted to recognize subtitles when watching a movie, your movie viewing experience will definitely be greatly reduced .

For example, when you are watching a program with a fast speaking rate, you may not be able to fully understand the whole drama because you have not seen a subtitle. Or when you search for a movie, you don't know the simplified or traditional drama title, which leads to no results. For example, the global hit "Paper House" is translated into "Paper House" on traditional Netflix.

So now that you're already paying for Netflix, why not maximize your movie viewing experience? Act now and set up Chinese subtitles and Chinese interface for your Netflix.

How to set up Netflix Chinese interface

How to: Change the language displayed in Netflix in your account settings

Netflix language settings include website (App) display language settings and language settings for shows and movies. We can change the language displayed in Netflix in the account settings, you can set it according to your own needs.

The steps to set up the Chinese interface in your Netflix account are as follows:

1. Sign in to Netflix.com on your computer or mobile device browser
2. The "Account" option under the avatar in the upper right corner of the Netflix homepage
3. Find "Profile and Parental Controls" at the bottom of the account page and select your account
4. Click on the "Language" option
5. Select a display language and click "Save"

After setting, the language of your entire Netflix account interface will be changed to Simplified/Traditional Chinese. However, in most cases, you will only see "Traditional Chinese", and a small number of users will see "Simplified Chinese".

Therefore, if the Netflix interface is traditional Chinese, if you want to change to simplified Chinese, you can transfer the IP of the proxy software to the three countries of Malaysia MY, Singapore SG, and India IN (there may be more regional IPs that can convert the Netflix interface to the Netflix interface). set to Simplified Chinese).

How to set up Netflix Chinese subtitles

On most devices, Netflix will display 5-7 relevant subtitle languages based on your location and language settings. For iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and web browsers, you'll see the movie in all available languages. But not all movies are available in all languages.

If you share a Netflix account through Honey Store , Netflix Store, or Netflix Town , you generally don't need to set up Chinese, you just need to pay attention to where your IP belongs. If you sign up for a Netflix account yourself, you don't necessarily have Chinese. So we provide the following 4 methods to help you 100% successfully set Netflix subtitles to Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese.

Method 1: Set Netflix Chinese subtitles by changing IP nodes

We mentioned above that Netflix sets the rules for Chinese, that is, Netflix decides what kind of Chinese subtitles to provide according to the region of the IP when we visit the Netflix website: Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese.

Then when we change our IP to Singapore, India or Malaysia and then visit the Netflix official website, we can get Simplified Chinese subtitles in the subtitle options. In addition, you will get traditional Chinese subtitles.

And changing the IP address requires a server line that includes high-speed firewall software from Malaysia MY, Singapore SG, and India IN. I am using ExpressVPN and PandaVPN , both of which contain the above node IPs. After setting the language, switch to the node you use every day.

Method 2: Change the language of Netflix movie subtitles in your account settings

After switching the IP address, change the subtitle language to Simplified Chinese/Traditional Chinese in the account settings. At this time, in most cases, you can get the subtitle language you want when watching Netflix movies. In addition, you can confirm that you have successfully set Chinese subtitles in the settings. The methods to view Chinese subtitles in your account are as follows:

on iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet

1. On the Netflix app home screen, tap the Profile icon or Details.

2. Tap Manage Profile.

3. Select the profile you want to edit.

4. Tap Audio and Subtitle Language.

5. Select your preferred language from Audio and Subtitle Language. The new language will be automatically saved.

on all other devices

1. Log in to Netflix.com on your computer or mobile device browser.

2. Select Account.

3. Select a profile.

4. Select a language.

5. Select your preferred language from Movie and Show Languages.

6. Select Save.

Method 3: POST request method to set up Netflix Chinese

If you want to set it up through a VPN , you can try the third method. Although this method is more complicated, it can also effectively set Netflix Chinese subtitles, namely: POST request method. To put it simply, it is to manually simulate the "IP node method" of the previous step, send fake information about you in these areas, "deceive" Netflix into thinking that you are in these areas, and let the other party set you to "Simplified Chinese".

A simple POST request is sent before Netflix sets the language for you. This line of code contains your location information, which is zh-SG in simplified form and zh-TW, zh-HK, and zh-US in traditional form.

Setting the language is subdivided into two parts: Language-Region. zh is Chinese, and SG, HK, US are the country and region where it is located. Combined, it becomes the final language parameter.

So, we send POST commands according to this rule. The subtitle language can be modified by modifying the "zh-SG" or "zh-TW" corresponding to simplified and traditional Chinese in the modification request.

Here are the specific steps:

STEP. 1: Setting interface

Log in to your Netflix account, click on your avatar in the upper right corner, then click on "Manage Profile" (this section has different text depending on your language).

STEP. 2: Review elements

Right-click on the blank space of the current page, select "Inspect Element" or "Inspect", or use shortcut keys (CTRL+SHIFT+I for Chrome browser). Select the "Network" tab at the top of the newly opened window, and then click "Fetch/XHR", as shown below.

STEP. 3: Set the language

Click your avatar, select another language in the "Language" column and click "Save".

At this time, you will see a request starting with pathEvaluator in the "Name" column on the right (or lower side). Find the record, click it, and find a record in "Form Data" at the bottom of "Headers" on the right: param: "zh-US". Please note that "zh-US" here will be different depending on the language you set.

STEP. 4: Copy request

Right-click on the request, select "Copy", then "copy as cURL" to copy the POST request.

STEP. 5: Modify the request

Paste after opening a blank document. Then search for "zh-US" and modify it to the language you want. After the modification is complete, select all and copy all the content that has just been modified.

STEP. 6: Resend the request

Next, just paste the contents of the cURL command copied in the previous step in the command line window and press the Enter key. After waiting for the server to return the content, it means that you have successfully operated (Windows needs to install the cURL command tool by itself, Mac has its own cURL command, and the installation steps need to be set according to other tutorials).

STEP. 7: Complete the setup

After returning to the homepage of the Netflix website, refresh the page, and the language of the entire website interface will change to the language you want.

Method 4: Manually download Chinese subtitles

If you don't want to use any of the above methods, or the resource itself does not provide simplified Chinese subtitles, then you can try to manually download Chinese subtitles and mount them in Netflix movies. The more common subtitle download sites are: R3 subtitle network , Sub HD , and subtitle library . The following is an example of Sub HD.

STEP. 1: Search and download the subtitles of the album you want to watch

Search the provided website for the subtitles you need, and click to download, the subtitles provided by the website are all .SRT or .ASS files

STEP. 2: Convert .SRT or .ASS subtitle file to .dfxp file

Since Netflix only supports .dfxp subtitle files, we need to convert .SRT and .ASS files into .dfxp files, which we can use the website Subtitle Converter to convert.

STEP. 3: Mount Chinese subtitles to Netflix

Go back to Netflix to the movie we want to watch, press pause after entering the playback interface, and press the shortcut key CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + T in the playback window, and select the .dfxp subtitle we just converted. Of course, you can also use Chrome plug-ins such as Super Netflix to add subtitles.

Netflix Chinese subtitles tutorial summary

Hopefully the above explanation will give you a complete understanding of how Netflix handles Chinese language. Among the four methods provided, I recommend the first one. If you have a suitable circumvention tool, whether it is a Netflix language problem or a limited problem can be solved perfectly.

Then you can save a lot of money on subscription fees by subscribing to accounts on co-rental platforms such as Honey Store , Netflix Store, and Netflix Town .

A scientific online tool for Chinese users

For domestic Netflix users, I recommend everyone to take a look at PandaVPN , which is an excellent VPN that can perfectly work with Netflix. It can help you switch IPs to any region, greatly expand the number of movies you can watch, and even lower the cost of your Netflix subscription. Use PandaVPN to change the IP, after setting the language, switch to the node you use every day.
