mavon replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in East Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"hi hun, if you are going to do research on the languages spoken in The Eastern Caribbean, don't just look at the map, read the information as well. We in the Caribbean speak more English than any other language so having a Spanish netflix…"
jes replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in East Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"I'm from the Bahamas and I'm having the same problem, except all of the shows and movies that I try to watch are in Spanish.

MoonFish replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in East Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"Just spoke to Netflix - apparently if you can change your IP address or mask it so they think you are in the states it won't show the subtitles - I'll try it both ways and post the results here!

MoonFish replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in East Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"We don't require subtitles to be permanently on - it is an option in North America that unfortunately we can't turn off in the Caribbean. We don't want to become accustomed to it, will simply cancel membership rather than watch them."

Agree that the yellow subtitles are intrusive and ruin…"
MrDentus replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"I still think a better solution would be to at least offer a NO subtitle version of the streams...
As long as subtitles are offered - that should be a easy quick fix... and it won't compromise any Spanish speaking peoples…"
Spindaddydad replied to MrDentus's discussion 'Dear Netflix - most people in Caribbean DON't speak Spanish!'"The streams provided to Netflix for North America would be different than those provided to them for the Caribbean countries. And it's probably a better idea to have Spanish subtitles so that the majority of people in the Caribbean can…"
