A video player in 17 languages, right to left included

Windows 11 & 10 · Updated 28 October 2026 · 5 min read

A video player should not make you guess what a button means. AIX Player’s whole interface, from the player screen to Settings and the library, is translated into 17 languages. Arabic and Hebrew get a layout that runs right to left, the way you read them.

The 17 languages

You can use AIX Player in any of these languages. Each one covers the app’s own words: menus, buttons, Settings, messages and the library.

The interface language changes the words in the app. It does not change the language of a film, its soundtrack or its subtitles: those come from the file.

Right to left, properly

Arabic and Hebrew are written from right to left, and an interface that only swaps the words while keeping a left-to-right layout is awkward to use. Arabic and Hebrew use a right-to-left interface; the player timeline remains left to right. These are the two right-to-left languages in the app; the other 15 read left to right.

Change the app language

AIX Player follows the language Windows is set to, or you pick one yourself:

1. Open Settings in AIX Player and stay on the General tab.
2. Find Language, described as “Choose the language the app is displayed in”.
3. Pick a language, then select Restart now to apply the change.

Your film in your language, too

The interface is only half of it. When a file offers matching tracks, AIX can select your preferred audio and subtitle languages:

• Preferred audio language (Settings → Audio): when a file offers a soundtrack in that language, it is selected automatically.
• Preferred subtitle language (Settings → Subtitle): the same for subtitle tracks.
• When casting, the Casting tab has its own preferred audio and subtitle languages, so the TV can follow different choices from the PC. Casting is part of AIX Pro, with a free allowance in the free app.

Subtitles in other scripts

Subtitles in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi or Thai need fonts that contain those letters, and not every PC has them. AIX Player brings its own subtitle fonts, so these scripts show as letters rather than boxes:

• Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters (Noto Sans)
• Arabic (Noto Sans Arabic)
• Hebrew (Noto Sans Hebrew)
• Devanagari, used for Hindi, Marathi and Nepali (Noto Sans Devanagari)
• Thai (Noto Sans Thai)
• Simplified Chinese (Noto Sans CJK Simplified Chinese)

Devanagari is a subtitle font, not an interface language: you can read Hindi subtitles in AIX Player, while the menus stay in the language you chose from the 17. If a subtitle file shows question marks or boxes even so, check the encoding and font coverage; the guide to strange characters in subtitles gives troubleshooting steps.
