    3.About Subtitles

    Subtiltes are available after paying by the Points in advance. 


    [How to purchase subtitles when they are available]

    (Move your mouse to the area in the lower right part of the video and the icon will appear.)

    2. Start playing the video.
    3. Tap the screen to display the video player controls.
    4. Tap the "CC" button, which stands for Closed Captions, located in the bottom right corner of the video player. This will turn on the subtitles if they are available.

    The types of subtitles

    For content with English subtitles available, you can enjoy watching it with subtitles by purchasing points. 


    There are two types of subtitle translation: AI translation and regular translation.

    The number of points needed to purchase the subtitles depends on the content.


    *AI translations: Translations made by our AI translations software and checked by our dedicated staff. These subtitles are prepared as soon as possible after the content is released.


    *Regular translations: Our dedicated staff handles everything from transcription to translation. Although compared to AI translation, the process is slower, these subtitles can be easier to read and understand.
