While we are watching a movie, a series from Netflix, we tend to turn subtitles on. Subtitles helps us greatly to understand some part of the story or even an entire movie if it is in some language that we do not understand.

Netflix shows 5-7 relevant languages on most devices based on your location and language settings. For iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and web browsers, you’ll see all available languages for a title. For downloads, Netflix shows the 2 most relevant languages. If you want to download videos with more subtitles languages, use Pazu Netflix Video Downloader.

What are External Subtitles?

External means subtitle files next to the video file in the filesystem, as opposed to baked into the file. External Subtitles are the best option for people who like the movie to be clear and free from distractions and only use subs when absolutely necessary.
