Expert Q&A

In-depth analysis and practical advice from leading experts.

It's very simple! While watching a movie, just look for the "speech bubble" (or "cc") icon, usually located in the bottom corner (on a computer/TV) or top corner (on a phone). Click on it, then select "Subtitles" and choose your desired language. The subtitles will automatically update a few seconds later.

Don't worry! Not all movies on HBO Max support multiple languages. If you don't see an option, it might be because the content doesn't yet have subtitles or audio in your preferred language. But don't hesitate to explore other movies — plenty of international content is available with subtitles or dubbing!

Max will automatically synchronize with your device's language. This means that if your phone, computer, or TV is set to Vietnamese, Max will also display in Vietnamese (if supported). If you want to change it, simply go to your device's Settings and switch to your desired language.
