Netflix not showing subtitles on foreign language scenes

[Acorn1]

Watched a few films which are mainly in English but have foreign language scenes and no subtitles automatically pop,up.

The only option is to switch on CC subtitles which I believe is for deaf people as it describes noises etc.

Case in point, tried to watch The Vault this evening,

Any ideas?

Netflix are notorious for fking up forced subtitles.

I had the same issue watching "The Vault".

Fortunately the scenes in Spanish were pretty easy to figure out.

Very annoying, can't seem to find any way to talk to netflix about it which is even more annoying. Oh well, first world problems and all that.

Yep I've had this multiple times across stuff. Last big one that was a joke was Pacific Rim Uprising. There's loads of sections in Chinese, no subtitles. Not like you need it to follow the plot but still.

ETA It's usually on my phone with downloaded titles, switching subtitles on/off didn't work neither did CC.

You probably had some knock-off version of Pacific Rim as there is only one film. No sequels.

If they stopped at "knock-off version", I would have agreed!

My name is far more generic than that!
