View movie subtitles in QuickTime Player

If a movie has subtitles, QuickTime Player can display them while the movie is playing.

Open and play movies in QuickTime Player

In QuickTime Player, choose View > Subtitles, and then choose a language.

If the movie doesn’t have subtitles in a particular language, you can’t choose that language from the submenu. Some movies have a “text track” instead of subtitles. QuickTime Player shows the text track if it’s present, but allows you to change languages only when the movie has subtitles in standard format.
