Q: change from dubbing to subtitles on foreign films

I want to be able to listen to watch foreign films in their language of origin and read the subtitles. However many of the iTunes foreign films on my appleTV are dubbed - is there a workaround?

Hi sarahfrommillvalley,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would prefer to watch foreign films in their original language with subtitles, instead of dubbed into another language. This may be possible, but it's important to note that this can vary, depending on the specific film. Not all films have alternative audio tracks (either the original language or a dubbed language), or necessarily have close captioning and/or subtitles. For more information on selecting the films that do, and how to set your Apple TV settings for the desired audio track and subtitles, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Find closed-captioned and subtitled content in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

Adjust video and audio settings - Apple TV User Guide

Turn on closed captions and subtitles on your Apple TV - Apple Support

Regards.
