Amazon Prime Video offers quality content in multiple languages. Some of the most-watched non-English movies and series include Culpa Mia (Spanish), Medellin (French), and Un Asunto Privado (Spanish). Even though English-dubbed versions are available, they are best watched in their original language. Is it difficult to understand? The answer is NO because you can get subtitles in English to help you understand the content better.

This article discusses how to get subtitles on Amazon Prime Video for any device.

Benefit of Getting Subtitles from Amazon Prime Video

The benefit of getting subtitles from Amazon Prime Video is that it allows us to watch and enjoy films made initially in languages we cannot understand. For example, The Seven Samurai is an eternal classic that is best watched in Japanese. So, if you do not understand Japanese, you can get English subtitles and enjoy the movie without lip-syncing issues.

Another advantage of getting subtitles is watching movies without switching on your volume. That is helpful when you do not have headphones and want to watch Amazon Prime without disturbing others. Subtitles are also handy if you are watching Amazon Prime content in a noisy environment. Moreover, if you are hard of hearing, movie subtitles allow you to enjoy your favorite content on Amazon Prime Video.
