Roku is another platform that lets you control subtitles on Starz. Here’s how you can turn the feature on or off:

After you’ve stated all your language preferences, Roku will save them for all your devices. If you encounter any issues while watching subtitled videos or customizing your subtitles, reset the device to its factory settings or empty the cache.

What Non-English Content Can You Access on Starz via Subtitles?

Another convenience of subtitles is the ability to understand the storylines of foreign movies and TV shows. In particular, Starz has tons of Spanish content in the network including hugely popular entries such as “Pain and Glory”, “The Pier”, “La Zona”, “Piedras”, etc.

Starz also features telenovelas and kids’ series including “Exploradores de la Historia”. If you’re looking to add some entertainment for a bit older audience, entries such as “Horacio y los Plasticines,” are there to cater to their interests.

Additionally, you can check out Encore Espanol, Starz Entertainment’s Spanish station. It broadcasts non-stop Spanish content which you can now enjoy if you enable subtitles.

Subtitles Give Starz a New Flair

With subtitles enabled on your Starz programming, you’ll get a full-on watching experience. You’ll be able to focus solely on the entertaining plots of your favorite TV shows and movies. The language barrier will be out of the picture, and incomprehensible audio won’t be an issue.
