Re: Captions keep showing in foreign languages

I am watching Paramount+. The closed captioning on Roku is turned on & language is English. It worked just fine until today. Now the captions are in Spanish. How do I fix this?

Re: Captions keep showing in foreign languages

Hi @CMI,

Thanks for reaching us here in the Roku Community! 

We'd like to know what content you are trying to access and if is this happening to that content only or if it affects the rest of it.

Please keep us posted!

Re: Captions keep showing in foreign languages

While watching your program, press the * button on your Roku remote.

If it lists more than 1 audio track click on that item to progressively go from one track to the next.  There may be tracks in more than one language, plus there may be "descriptive" tracks which have a voice-over description of what is happening on the screen for the benefit of the visually impaired.

Edit: what I wrote above was for audio tracks, but you asked about closed captions.  Similar to audio tracks, if it lists more than one caption track, click on that item to progress through the available tracks.
