How do I get English (US) subtitles on a MacBook Air using the "TV" App for movies that I rented? I tried going to System Preferences/Accessibility and adjusting the settings, but that didn't work. The "Subtitles" menu in the movie lists "Off," "Auto (Recommended)," "French," "German," and "Thai." Subtitles using French, German, and Thai displayed while showing the movie. OS is Big Sur.
Hi, X10L.
We appreciate you taking the time to post in the Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you’re trying get English subtitles for movies that you’re watching in the TV app on your MacBook, but you’re only seeing options for French, German, or Thai. It sounds like you’ve already tried enabling Closed Captions and SDH in Accessibility as well as adjusting the settings with the Closed Captioning icon in the movie itself as outlined in the user guide, with no success.
Use subtitles and captioning in the Apple TV app - Apple Support
If you open the movie in the iTunes Store and view the Accessibility section, are you able to confirm that the movie supports captioning for English? This article will show you how to check:
