Subtitles

What it is for

Settings › Subtitles decides whether subtitles are drawn and how they look, and holds the credentials that translate or fetch them. Its three sub-pages — Appearance, Translation and Online search — appear in the rail and as tabs.

Settings with Subtitles chosen in the rail and its three sub-pages listed under it, repeated as tabs above the Appearance page and its one-line description: Render subtitles on, Preferred languages with Add language and none chosen yet, Forced captions only off, Style override on Off (keep the script's typeset), and Position on As the file says

How to use it

Appearance holds Render subtitles, which switches the rest of the tab on and off; Preferred languages, which choose a track until you pick one yourself (drag to reorder); Forced captions only, for signs and foreign dialogue; Style override; and Position — see Position and style.
Translation holds Provider, Endpoint, the API key with Test, Model, then Translate into (Other… takes a typed name), Read the original audio, Re-read the translation and Already translated — see Translating subtitles and Translating on your own computer. Names and speakers are set on the subtitle — see Better translations.
Online search holds OpenSubtitles’ API key, Languages, Account, Password and Test account — see Finding subtitles online.

Good to know

Style override on Off (keep the script’s typeset) draws no styling rows; Size only adds Text size; and Font, colour, outline and shadow keeps that one and adds four more — Font family, Text colour, Outline width and Shadow depth.
Appearance is read when a title opens, so a change made while a film is on screen reloads it briefly, in place.
