About ARTE:
Linguistic diversity being one of Europe’s strengths, ARTE strives to offer a wider choice of TV programmes to people in Europe and beyond. In addition to broadcasting all its programmes in French and German, ARTE offers an online selection of programmes subtitled in English, Spanish, Polish and Italian. This initiative was made possible thanks to European Union support and aims to offer subtitled cultural TV content across Europe.
Building on its multilingual and digital expertise, ARTE began to operate in four languages in November 2015 when, in addition to broadcasting in French and German, it launched a selection of programmes with English and Spanish subtitles on arte.tv/en and arte.tv/es respectively. Since November 2016, the channel has also been offering programmes subtitled in Polish on arte.tv/pl. And since October 2018, a new Italian offer has been available on arte.tv/it.
With its offer in six languages ARTE confirms its European cultural vocation. ARTE’s mission to strengthen understanding and ties amongst people in Europe with culture and inspiring, innovative, programmes has never been more relevant than it is now.
