Watch Netflix in a language it does not offer
Netflix ships a handful of subtitle and dub tracks per title, and the one you want is frequently not among them. AnyDub translates the audio itself, live, in more than 70 languages, on the title you are watching right now.

The languages Netflix skipped
Localisation is a per-title business decision. A Korean drama might carry twelve subtitle languages and a Danish one might carry three, and the difference has nothing to do with who wants to watch. Whole audiences get left out of specific titles for reasons of catalogue economics.
Translating on the viewer's side ignores that entirely. The language you want is available because you asked for it, not because a title hit a threshold.

Dubbing where only subtitles exist
Subtitle tracks are much cheaper to produce than dubs, so most titles offer far more of the former. If reading subtitles for two hours is not how you want to spend the evening, AnyDub can speak the translation instead, with the original cast audible underneath at whatever level you like.
Install on ChromeAny streamer not only Netflix
The same extension works on other streaming services, broadcaster catch-up players, sports streams and YouTube. Anything that makes sound in a Chrome tab is fair game.

Why streaming catalogues still leave gaps
Streaming made the world's television available and left the language problem roughly where it was. A title is licensed into a market, dubbed and subtitled for that market, and the viewer who sits outside that plan gets whatever happened to be commissioned.
Non-English foreign titles are where this bites hardest. English-language shows are localised widely because the audience is large. A Turkish series, a Thai film or a Nordic thriller often carries only its own language plus English, which strands everyone else.
Real-time translation solves this at the only point where it is cheap to solve: one viewer, one title, one session. Nobody has to commission anything.
Questions answered
Does this work with the Netflix app on a TV or console?
No. AnyDub is a Chrome extension, so watch in a browser tab on a computer.
Does it replace the Netflix subtitles?
It adds its own translated subtitles over the player, translated from the audio, so it works for languages Netflix does not provide.
Can I get a spoken dub instead of reading?
Yes. Turn on dubbing and the translation is spoken over the original, whose volume you control.
Does it work on other streaming services?
Yes. Any site that plays audio in Chrome works the same way.
Will the translation stay in sync?
It follows the audio live, about a second behind, and stays aligned through pauses and seeks.
Is it free?
There is a free tier with monthly translation minutes, and paid plans for heavier viewing.
