Audio/subtitle languages available for watching Star Trek in different countries?

Language learners often benefit from watching a familiar TV show in their learning language.

The various Star Trek series and movies have been dubbed and subtitled in many languages. Unfortunately since Star Trek was removed from Netflix it has become harder for people to access it in different languages.

I made /r/StarTrek to try to gather a bunch of information in one place about where/how it's possible to watch Star Trek with dubs or subtitles in different languages.

So far I have found audio dubs in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and subtitles in Norwegian and Swedish. Access to them varies by country and streaming service.

(A hint for anyone trying to use this information to watch Star Trek in your target language (TL): US and EEA Paramount+ subscriptions have roaming restrictions. But it is possible to buy country-specific Paramount+ gift cards online for several countries. So while a VPN alone may not always be enough, a VPN + a gift card from another country can do the trick.)

So far I have covered some (but not all) of the US options, and most of what pluto.tv offers in countries where they have service. But I am lacking data for:

  • Paramount+ subscriptions (or SkyShowtime subscriptions) in countries other than the United States
  • Local/regional streaming services
  • According to The Dubbing Database audio dubs should exist in several other languages for at least some of the Star Trek series, including Arabic, Cantonese, Catalan, Czech, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Indonesian, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Thai, and Turkish. Information is needed about their availability on streaming platforms in countries likely to have those languages.
  • What's available for audio/subtitles for different Star Trek series when accessing pluto.tv from a Danish IP address
  • Information for MoviStar Plus (Spain)

If you can, please consider contributing information about what audio dub and subtitle languages are available for Star Trek on streaming services you have access to. (Here are some examples that might help, but formatting and how in-depth you want to go is up to you!)
