CODA not available with English subtitles

Hello,

After months of waiting for this movie to be released in Spain and reserved in advance I am upset that it is only released with subtitles in Spanish

I live in Spain but we talk English at home and all my account is in English. How a movie that you need subtitles to understand, because is about deaf people, cannot have original subtitles? Even worse as the distributor is Apple itself

Do I have some choice like changing my system language or using VPN?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

While the subtitles may be in Spanish only, the audio language would be available in English as well.

CODA (2021) on iTunes - Apple (ES)

Do I have some choice like changing my system language or using VPN?

Those measures wouldn’t make any difference for this content. Only the country of your Apple ID account (its billing address) matters for this.

Even worse as the distributor is Apple itself

Formally, Apple is the reseller and Vendôme Pictures/Pathé Films/Picture Perfect Federation are the releasing studios for this region, with responsibility for audio (dubbing) and subtitles. They can’t re-use Apple TV+ tracks freely.

This is a user forum, you are not addressing apple here just fellow users

usually when I use the remote to swipe down I get a context top menu to control audio langauge and subtitle language on my appletv

you can try contacting apple Support -> Get Support (apple.com)

and or give them feedback -> Product Feedback - Apple

Thanks for your answer. Yes I saw the English audio. The issue are the scenes that they are in sign language (half of the movie so far)

I think distribution need to take care this into consideration as Spain is one of the countries with more foreigners accounting more than 12% actually

have a good day
