French subtitles in Plex, before you press play.

Pick French on any movie in your library and StreamBridge finds the best French subtitle for that exact release, checks its timing against the film's own audio, and saves it where Plex finds it. When nobody has made a French track, it translates the best one it found. On every Plex app you own.

French, specifically

French tracks are plentiful for cinema releases and thin for streaming-only titles, where a translated track is often the only way to get one.

French and English on screen at once

Pick French and English together and both go on screen as one track, one line above the other. A household where one of you reads French and the other doesn't, a parent who wants the kids following along, or you, learning French from a film you already love. Everyone on the couch reads the same movie.

Found, timed, translated

StreamBridge searches by the release you're actually streaming, not just the title, so the French track it picks was made for those frames. It then takes a short sample of the film's audio, lines the dialogue up with the subtitle, and shifts or stretches the track until the lines land on the words. If the search comes back empty, it translates the best track it found into French, keeping the timing it already checked. The full run, step by step →

Plex's subtitle picker with the StreamBridge track selected

In Plex, it's just a subtitle track

The file is saved next to the movie, so Plex lists French in the subtitle picker like any other track. Nothing to enable on the TV or the phone. Turn it on once for Amélie and every Plex app remembers.

Part of Pro

Timing and translating a film costs us real money per run, so subtitles are part of StreamBridge Pro, a one-time purchase. Streaming, browsing, movies and TV series stay free for everyone. See pricing →
