Audiobooks in other languages

I live in France but I am not french.

I would like to find English Audiobooks (and Spanish) 

You should develop a better search including the language choice for the audiobook.

Live in Belgium. Want English audiobooks too. Also an option to get rid of the French ones would be nice.

It’s reason enough to find a different streaming service even though I’ve been with Spotify for over a decade

Yeah I’m English and live in France. Whilst I’d like to explore listening to French audiobooks I’d much prefer to be able to listen to English books.

A German expat living in Netherlands. Don’t want Dutch language books… please help quickly!

Yes, I can see there is an "English Language" section,, but is this the full library?

Setting the default language for audio books must be a basic function. Please implement this ASAP.

My wife and I have the same issue; Spotify premium, English mother tongue living in France. We speak French but for many reasons also want access to English language podcasts and content etc. 

We can only see French language material. 

At first I thought this was simply a default Spotify setting based on where we live and pay our subscriptions. Unless I’m missing something, it’s not. 

I cannot understand why this restriction is in place and it needs to change.

Spotify please respond.
I could imagine customers needing to migrate to other platforms. 

Thank you.

When I search “English Audiobooks,” Spotify lists this as a genre with various subgenres, but it doesn’t provide access to the full library of English-language audiobooks.

 

If “English Audiobooks” is already a genre, shouldn’t users be able to access all audiobooks in that language, regardless of location? Couldn’t this be resolved by Spotify implementing consistent language tagging on the backend?

 

Spotify, please make language-specific audiobook functionality a reality! And consider fixing the limited audiobook access on Duo accounts—currently, the account manager gets only 12 hours monthly, and the secondary user has none, versus 15 for single-user accounts.

I also live in Belgium and only speak dutch and english, but I prefer english audiobooks. Would be great if they added different language options.
