Caption tracks, language choices and accuracy depend on the programme and player.
How to use subtitles for learning
Open the official player and look for CC, subtitles, a speech bubble or settings.
Choose English audio for English listening practice, then an available subtitle language. Some live captions are fixed into the picture and cannot be changed.
Use your preferred language to understand a difficult passage; try English captions next, then a short section without captions.
If your language is absent, try another programme or a service with multilingual options. The Hub cannot add subtitle tracks to a broadcaster’s player.
Automatic captions or translations, when offered by a provider, can mishear accents, names and technical terms.
