Once a film is in Plex, StreamBridge gives it subtitles in one or two languages, timed to that file. You choose them on the film's Watch view, and they show up in Plex's own subtitle menu on every device.
The film plays small on the screen you're sending it to, and the subtitles are drawn under it as they'll look. Click them to choose.
English, Tiếng Việt, 한국어: you read the choice the way the subtitle will read.
In yellow, under the first. Pick both, one, or the release's own subtitles.
On the film, ⋯, then Subtitles, then Change Subtitles…
The file is saved next to the film, so Plex lists it in its own subtitle menu on the TV, the phone and the web. Turn it on once and Plex remembers it on every device.
Beside any subtitles the release already had.
One subtitle with a line of each, so there's nothing to switch between.
One of you speaks the film's language and the other reads another. Both lines are on screen, so nobody has to ask.
Hear the film, read it in the language you know and the one you're learning: Vietnamese from a Korean thriller, say.
If nobody has made subtitles in your language, StreamBridge translates them from the best ones it found.
Each runs in your browser; your files stay on your computer.
Subtitles come with Pro, a one-time purchase that includes a monthly allowance for new ones. Subtitles that already exist for your film in your language don't count against it. Streaming, browsing, movies and series stay free; on a free install the Watch view shows Subtitles with a Pro tag that opens Pro.
