Streaming Films

Most films found on our streaming databases in a language other than English will provide closed captioning in English. Some may also include closed captioning in a non-English language, but this will depend on the specific database and films.  For example, in the streaming film database Kanopy, you can search for films in another language as well as the language of the closed captions using the "Filters" menu in the search feature.

Find the film's record in the library catalog. The film's record in the catalog should specify its language(s) in the Language field.

For more specific information about the languages, subtitles, and dubbing, scroll to the bottom of the record and select "MARC record". Go to the field numbered "546," which will provide all the details about the language in the film including subtitles and their languages.
