Netflix has launched a version of its user interface (UI) in Bahasa Melayu.
The move, announced in Kuala Lumpur Friday, will enable subscribers to view shows and movies with Bahasa Melayu subtitles and dubbing.
“Netflix believes in giving members control over their entire entertainment experience, and we are delighted that they are now able to choose to enjoy Netflix in Bahasa Melayu. This surely will improve their viewing experience and better suit members who prefer consuming Netflix in their national language,” said a Netflix spokesperson.
Subscribers can switch to Bahasa Melayu from the Language option in the Manage Profiles section on their desktop, TV or mobile browsers. Up to five profiles in each account, and each profile can have its own language setting. Netflix members outside of Malaysia will also have the option to switch their user interface to Bahasa Melayu.
Local programming, available around the world includes a stand-up special featuring Malaysia doctor-turned-comedian Dr Jason Leong, and the new romantic comedy movie from Adrian Teh, Pasal Kau!.
