Why Is My Amazon Prime in Spanish?

There are a few reasons why your Amazon Prime is in Spanish. Here's a look at them.

• You've clicked a foreign link. If you've selected an Amazon Mexico or Spain link, for instance, then Amazon has automatically changed your language preferences to Spanish. 
• You changed your language preference. Whether via the Amazon website itself or just Prime Video, you may have changed your language preferences to Spanish. Go back to the language settings to change it back.
