Subtitles are translations or transcriptions of character dialog or narration that appear at the bottom of the television screen. You may want to turn off subtitles if they are distracting on the television. It is possible to turn off subtitles on most modern televisions. The following steps apply to almost all smart TVs.
What are Subtitles on TV?
Subtitles are the version of dialog in a television program, movie or other video that appears as text at the bottom. Subtitles are often used to translate dialog into a different language or to provide a transcription of dialog for people who are hard of hearing. However, they can also be used to provide translations of songs or other audio elements in a program.
Subtitles can be added to a program as a permanent part of the video or as a separate track that can be turned on and off by the viewer. They are also typically displayed at the bottom of the screen and synchronized with the audio track of the program. They can be turned on and off as desired by the viewer.
