I&#x27;m not the one you asked the question but yes, that&#x27;s what they do and it is a really dumb decision. I&#x27;m German and for perfecting my passive(i.e. understanding while listening) English language skills, I really like  to view movies in English _and with English subtitles_. But in Germany, Netflix only offers German subtitles when the audio is set to English. Anyone got a contact at Netflix whom to approach with this?
