It is still absolutely insane that not a single streaming service in Australia has an option to search by language of audio or subtitles. One-fifth of Australians speak a language other than English at home.

The new Mulan doesn't have Japanese subtitles (perhaps understandable), but the fact that it doesn't have Chinese subtitles is categorically nuts.

This is partially a personal gripe around how difficult it is to find a movie to watch as a family on a Sunday evening, but also a story of how many companies wanting to expand into new markets fail because they don't make any effort to understand or service those markets.

A few people have replied to this and said that you can go to netflix.com/subtitles on a web browser and search by a few languages (options change depending on menu language). A bit clunky, but this is great.

This all said, we watched Mulan and it was really very good.
