How to Change Your HubSpot Certification Language
Updating the language of your HubSpot certification course is simple once you know where each setting lives. This guide walks you through changing both the video subtitles and the tool language so your learning experience matches your preferred language.
The instructions below are based on the official HubSpot Knowledge Base article and apply to users taking certifications through HubSpot Academy.
Understanding HubSpot Certification Language Options
When you start a certification, you might notice that not everything in your HubSpot course changes language the same way. There are two main elements to understand:
- Video subtitles and interface text within Academy lessons
- HubSpot account language for tools and navigation
Changing your HubSpot language for one element does not automatically change the other. You may need to adjust both to create a fully localized learning environment.
Where HubSpot Language Can and Cannot Be Changed
Before changing any settings, it helps to know what is possible within the HubSpot Academy interface and what depends on your main account language.
- Some certification content only offers subtitles in specific languages.
- The subtitles option is controlled inside the video player itself.
- The overall HubSpot account language is controlled in your profile settings, not in the Academy lesson screen.
If you follow the steps in this guide and still cannot see your preferred language, it is likely that the certification has not yet been localized for that language.
How to Change HubSpot Certification Video Subtitles
The first and fastest change you can make is to update your subtitle language in the HubSpot Academy video player. Use these steps every time you start a new lesson or certification video.
Step-by-Step: Update HubSpot Academy Video Subtitles
-
Open your certification lesson
Log in to your HubSpot account and navigate to HubSpot Academy. Open the certification course and select the specific lesson video you want to watch. -
Start the video
Click the play button so the HubSpot video player controls are visible on the screen. -
Locate the subtitle or settings icon
In the lower-right corner of the video player, look for the settings or subtitles/CC icon. This icon may appear as a gear symbol or as a small “CC” button, depending on the current HubSpot player layout. -
Open the subtitles menu
Click the icon to open available subtitle or closed caption options for that specific certification video. -
Select your language
From the dropdown list, choose the language you want to use. Only languages that have been enabled for the current HubSpot lesson will appear in this list. -
Confirm the subtitles are visible
Resume playing the video and confirm the subtitles now appear at the bottom of the screen in your chosen language.
These subtitle settings are video-specific. If you start another HubSpot certification video and do not see the same language, repeat these steps.
How to Change Overall HubSpot Account Language
In addition to subtitles, you may want the overall HubSpot interface to display in your preferred language. This affects menus, navigation, and tool labels across your HubSpot portal, including areas you use while studying for certifications.
Step-by-Step: Update Your HubSpot Profile Language
-
Sign in to your HubSpot account
Open your browser and log in to your main HubSpot portal. -
Go to your profile settings
In the top-right corner, click your account name or profile picture, then select Profile & Preferences (or similarly labeled profile option, depending on your current HubSpot interface). -
Find the language section
Inside your profile or preferences page, look for a Language or Regional settings section. This is where you control your personal display language for HubSpot. -
Choose your language
Use the dropdown list to select the language you want to use throughout your HubSpot account. Options may include multiple localized versions. -
Save your changes
Click Save or Apply to confirm your new HubSpot language setting. -
Refresh your browser
Refresh the page or log out and back in to ensure the new language appears across the HubSpot interface and tools.
Keep in mind that changing your account language does not retroactively translate every piece of certification content. It mainly affects the navigation and tool interface around your HubSpot Academy courses.
What to Expect After Changing HubSpot Language Settings
After you update subtitles and account language, your experience with HubSpot certifications will change in a few key ways:
- The interface language used in your main HubSpot account will reflect your chosen setting.
- The subtitles in supported HubSpot Academy videos will appear in the selected language.
- Any sections of the certification that are not yet localized may remain in the original language.
If subtitles are not available for a specific lesson, you will not see that language in the subtitle dropdown. In that case, you may need to follow along in the primary language or check back later as HubSpot continues rolling out localized Academy content.
Troubleshooting HubSpot Certification Language Issues
If you are still having trouble changing your language after following the steps above, review these quick checks.
Check Subtitle Availability in HubSpot Academy
- Verify that subtitles are turned on in the video player.
- Confirm your chosen language appears in the list; if not, it is likely not available for that video.
- Try another lesson in the same HubSpot certification to see if subtitles are available there.
Check Your HubSpot Account Settings
- Revisit your profile preferences and ensure the correct language is selected.
- Log out and back into HubSpot to apply the new language fully.
- Test in an incognito or private browser window to rule out cache issues.
Use the Official HubSpot Documentation
For the most accurate, current information, always refer to the official documentation provided by the platform. You can review the original instructions in the HubSpot Knowledge Base here: How can I change the language of my certification course?.
Improving Your Overall HubSpot Learning Experience
Once your language settings are configured, you can focus fully on learning and applying what you see in your HubSpot certifications. To make the most of your localized setup:
- Bookmark the Academy courses you use most.
- Take notes in your chosen language while you watch.
- Practice new skills directly in your HubSpot portal, using the same language as your lessons.
If you are managing a larger team or multi-language implementation based on insights from HubSpot certifications, you may also want expert consulting support.

Key Takeaways for Managing HubSpot Certification Language
To recap, there are two distinct areas you may need to adjust when it comes to language in your HubSpot certification courses:
- Video subtitles within HubSpot Academy
Control these using the subtitle or settings icon inside the video player. - Overall HubSpot account language
Control this through your profile or preferences in the main HubSpot interface.
By configuring both areas correctly, you can create a smoother, more accessible experience while you work through your HubSpot certifications in the language that best supports your learning.
