How to Change the Language Setting on Crunchyroll for Roku Players

Key Takeaways

  • Crunchyroll’s Roku app allows you to change the display language, subtitle language, and audio language for shows
  • The process involves navigating to the Settings menu within the Crunchyroll channel on your Roku device
  • Some shows may have limited language options available, depending on the content licensing

As an experienced writer covering streaming services and cord-cutting topics, I understand the importance of customizing your viewing experience to suit your preferences. Crunchyroll, the popular anime streaming platform, offers a wide range of language options for its content, and adjusting these settings on your Roku device can enhance your overall enjoyment.

Crunchyroll’s Roku app provides three main language settings: display language, subtitle language, and audio language. The display language controls the interface text within the app, while the subtitle and audio languages determine the language for the show’s subtitles and audio track, respectively.

Changing the Display Language

To change the display language on the Crunchyroll Roku app, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Crunchyroll channel on your Roku device.
  2. Navigate to the left-hand menu and select “Settings.”
  3. Scroll down and select “App Language.”
  4. Choose your preferred language from the list.
  5. The app will refresh, and the new display language will be applied.

Adjusting Subtitle and Audio Languages

Changing the subtitle and audio languages for individual shows requires a slightly different process. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Launch the Crunchyroll channel and select the show you want to watch.
  2. Instead of immediately playing the show, look for the option to select a “season” or “version.”
  3. Crunchyroll organizes different language options as separate “seasons” or “versions.”
  4. Browse through the available options until you find the one labeled with your preferred subtitle or audio language.
  5. Select that “season” or “version,” and the show will play with your chosen language settings.

It’s important to note that not all shows on Crunchyroll offer a wide range of language options. The availability of different subtitle and audio languages depends on the licensing agreements and distribution rights for each specific title.

Tips and Considerations

  • Check Show Details: Before starting a new show, check the show’s details page to see what language options are available. This can save you time from having to browse through multiple “seasons” or “versions.”
  • Use Roku Remote Shortcuts: On some Roku devices, you can press the “*” button on your remote while watching a show to quickly access language and subtitle settings.
  • Combine Settings for Optimal Experience: You can mix and match different language settings for display, subtitles, and audio to create your ideal viewing experience.
  • Reset to Default: If you ever want to revert to the default language settings, you can do so by navigating back to the “Settings” menu and selecting the appropriate option.

Customizing language settings on Crunchyroll’s Roku app may seem a bit convoluted at first, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite anime shows in your preferred language with ease. Don’t hesitate to explore the various options available to find the perfect combination that suits your viewing preferences.
