  • Question
    How can I get subtitles in a different language?
    Community Answer
    If another language appears in the dialog box, tap said language option. If that language is not available, you cannot have subtitles of that language.

  • Question
    My device isn't listed above, how can I get subtitles?
    Community Answer
    If your streaming device is older, there's a chance that it doesn't support subtitles. If it does support subtitles, the process is likely very similar to one of the others listed above. Check the title's Description page or look for the Dialog button in the playback controls.
