Japanese anime purchased in Hong Kong only has Chinese subtitles?

While browsing for Castle in the Sky it showed that it had English subtitles so I logged in and purchased it.


As I was playing the anime I tried to turn on subtitles on to see that English is unavailable in the bottom right menu.


After navigating back to my library and clicking on it to see it's description I noticed it all became Chinese.


I went back to the website only to now see there is only Chinese under where it says subtitles.


How do I get English subtitles?

Availability of audio languages and subtitle languages are set per title and per Store region, as determined by the supplying studio (Ghibli) for that region.

You may have found language information while browsing, that doesn’t apply to your Store region.

Unfortunately, users can’t add languages to what is offered.
