I love Netflix because a lot of their shows are translated in multiple languages. It's a lot more palatable for me to allow the kids 20m more if it's "en français".

2nd language learners greatly benefit from translated content. Sometimes we even discuss how the content was translated a bit differently from the original...

but the translations on those cases are always weird.

for example, even for their own content they have dumb rules such as having french subtitled and french dubbing, but unless you're in France you won't have the option of french closed caption (I.e getting the french text for what is actually being spoken in the french dubbing)
