Subtitles are embedded by the source. You are thinking of closed captions (CC).

SOURCE: can't get English subtitles on

Make sure that your video and subtitle have exactly the same name.
For example:
movie.avi (your video file)
movie.srt (your subtitle file)

As you can see the sub name and the video name are totally the same. We just changed the extension, so the player will be able to load the appropriate subtitle for the right movie.

How can I turn off subtitles on TCL have tried everything including factory reset

What is the signal source? The TV subtitle control will only work for OTA channels (RF) and possibly native apps. For a Roku TCL TV, go to Settings from the Home Page. This should put you in the Options configuration display. Select Accessibility and press OK. Navigate to Captions Mode and set to OFF. Then click OK to save the setting.

If your source is a set-top box of any sort (cable/satellite box, DVD Player, etc), you have to turn off the subtitles from the box's remote/menu. Depending on the device, this could be easy or hard. One of my neighbors had a single satellite box for two TVs and needed captions on the second set. That meant turning on captions on both sets using the menus on the main TV. On my current set-top box, I have to go to Menu > Settings. Then I enter a code from my provider to access the menu and enter the Hardware settings. On this box, the captions control is under the Audio settings.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with more information on your source if you need help changing the subtitles on a specific streaming service or set-top box.

How do I fix language to English on ***** in paradise shiw

To change the language to English on the "***** in Paradise" show, you'll need to check if the show or streaming platform offers language options. Here are some general steps you can follow:
  1. Access the settings: Look for a settings or options menu while watching the show. This is usually represented by a gear icon or the word "Settings" on the streaming platform.
  2. Language settings: Navigate to the language settings within the settings menu. It may be labeled as "Audio" or "Language."
  3. Select English: Once you're in the language settings, look for English in the list of available languages. Choose English as the preferred language for audio or subtitles, depending on your preference.
  4. Save and apply changes: After selecting English, save your changes and exit the settings menu. The show should now be playing in English.
Note: The steps may vary depending on the streaming platform or device you are using. If you're unable to locate the language settings or encounter any difficulties, consult the platform's help or support documentation for specific instructions.
Additionally, if "***** in Paradise" is a show that is dubbed or subtitled in multiple languages, ensure that the English option is available for that specific show or season. Not all shows may have language options for every language.
If you're watching the show on a television network or cable provider, you may need to refer to the instructions or settings provided by the network or provider to change the language settings.
Remember that some shows may only be available in the language they were originally produced in, and language options may vary depending on your location or the rights acquired by the streaming platform.
