Good morning, It seems to me the question is what is meant by "subtitles." Here in the U. S., this means the words at the bottom of the screen that provide the dialog in English when the film's language is not. If the app offers an audio read of subtitles under this definition for non-English language films, this would be a tremendous thing in and of itself... There are lots of such films I'd love to watch, but unless it's in Spanish, French, or German, I have to listen to a dubbed version, which I don't like, or have a friend read the subtitles to me, which is also not ideal, especially for my friend.
Ideally the app would do both -- although how it would provide audio description and read the subtitles, I'm not sure! But if you could choose either one, that would be awesome!

However, when you go to setting, choose your country. So far, about 15 minutes ago, the countries are, France, Australia, Ita, Germany, Spain, UK, US, and Sweden. The sub title languages that you can select so far are Eng, Germ, Ita, Fr, Sp and Sw.I guess, it also depending on the ability of the sub title on that specific language for the sub title for a specific movie as well. I'm quite surprise that Canada is not on the list. Perhaps, Canadian can select US, and NZ people can select Australia? I hope the app will be available for more country and more languages. Indeed, Chinese will be the next on my wishlist for this app. It seems there are lots of potential for the app. Joanne Chua The flip side of Inclusion is Exclusion.
