I am a Brit with 2 kids living in Denmark. I love buying a good bargain, DVD or Blu ray from Amazon. Unfortunately I am quite often forced to go else where or pay extra for an alternative which could actually be the same product because we are almost never given information on alternative languages and subtitles (my kids want Danish language and my wife Danish subtitles). I quite often see people asking for these details using the review facility. If enough people make enough noise about it (e.g. joining this discussion) maybe Amazon will hear and start providing this very basic info or even just a decent sized picture of the back cover so we can see for ourselves. I am sure you will gain some new international customers.

I second that. I've lost count of the number of times I've either been disappointed by a purchase or been deterred from buying altogether due to this basic lack of soundtrack info, and not just by Amazon. A policy shift is needed, I think. A simple thumbnail link to a cover photo would solve the problem.

Useful info from another post:

I totally understand you.
I also asked Amazon.co.uk to enter the audio/subtitle information on the blu-rays...
Then I moved to a second phase - I talked with some friends, joined the Amazon Associate program (to have access to their BD information, like prices, images, etc) and we developed a web site:
www.blu-world.co.uk
Our goal was to create a site to help Amazon.co.uk customers to find blu-rays with the audio/subtitle requirements they want. It's brand new but already have some success. We even placed some features than Amazon will probably never implement, like an audio/subtitle filter. And, as an user community, users can share audio/subtitle information with the other users.
For instance, from the 1625 blu-rays on our database, we have 285 items with Danish subtitles and 12 items with danish audio.
And, of course, the site have the direct links back to Amazon.co.uk products.

Agreed. I want to watch anime in Japanese with English subs to help me learn the language. So this basic info is a must have for me to buy a anime dvd.

I also need subtitles to enjoy a series or a movie fully. My understanding of English is not bad but when watching a movie of a series, background noises are often the problem.

I also search for DVD´s-Blu Ray´s which have subs and when I can´t find out, I will not purchase it, which is a shame. Example, in September Fringe Season blu ray came out, I could not find any info about the subs, I did a lot of searching but could not find it. Finally, after 3 weeks, another customer added in a discussion that there were English subs on it so I finally could purchase it. I myself added the info later on the product details for other customers.

www.blu-world.co.uk - I immediately made a favorite of this site, very good initiative, shame that Amazon isn't more active in this.

I have the same problem.
I never purchased any DVD at Amazon because the lack of information.

I strongly agree with this cause.

Being a Swede, and considering myself quite versed in English (and more so than many others, having the same opinion about themselves),
some films I don't mind not being subtitled at all. For some I'd like to have at least English subs.
However, since the films I buy aren't normally watched solely by myself, I want them to have Swedish subs or in rare cases even a Swedish audio track (the latter for viewing of smaller children).
Normally, I prefer the original language audio, whichever that might be, since the dubbing is usually to poorly made IMHO.

Because of the lack of information here at amazon.co.uk, I have refrained from buying a number of films.
Moreover, I have sometimes found the product information being incorrect in this matter!
-Both to my happy surprise, and to my slight regret.

I shall, starting now, post subtitling information on everything I buy from this place, where that is not correctly indicated. Mostly in the discussion area, as finding this information in the customer reviews are tricky if it even exists at all.
