Subtitles · 日本語
Once a film is in Plex, pick Japanese on its Watch view in StreamBridge. The subtitle is timed to that file and saved where Plex finds it. If nobody has made one in Japanese, StreamBridge translates the best subtitle it found.
Japanese subtitles for films from other countries are hard to find, so translation is often the only way to get them.
On the film's Watch view, the subtitles are drawn under it as they'll look, with Japanese written as 日本語. Click them to change language. Later, ⋯, Subtitles, Change Subtitles…
Pick Japanese with English and both appear on screen, one line above the other: for watching with someone who reads the other language, or for learning Japanese. Already have both files? Put them together here, free.
Japanese is listed in Plex's subtitle menu like any other option. Nothing to set up on the TV or phone. Turn it on once for The Godfather and Plex remembers it on every device. For one file you already have, use the free timing tool.
