I've heard you can sometimes work around this by changing your profile language. Have you tried setting it to German?

Seems daunting to need to switch profile language's for this?

Netflix only shows audio/subtitle tracks that are in languages they think are relevant to you.

But nowadays you can configure additional visible languages yourself on the language settings page (checkboxes under "Programmes & Films Languages") without changing the UI language: https://www.netflix.com/LanguagePreferences

Seems silly to me not to list all available languages. I would have never known this if you didn’t tell me. I didn’t slipped my mind to consider its a Profile Settings thing.

Apparently it was done for UX reasons: https://www.quora.com/Why-arent-all-subtitles-available-in-a...

But that seems weird to me - just show the more relevant languages first, then, so they don't need too many button presses.
