How to Download Subtitles from Netflix

Netflix’s services cover many countries and regions around the world, some of which are non-English speaking countries, such as South Korea. Currently, there are many original movies and TV series from other non-English speaking countries such as South Korea on Netflix. Although the language of these original contents is not English, Netflix has thoughtfully added English subtitles to the videos. Therefore, even if we don’t master the languages of other countries, it does not prevent us from watching wonderful movies and TV series from other countries on Netflix. However, it seems that some people still don’t know how to add subtitles to movies on Netflix, or download subtitles from Netflix. Therefore, this article will help readers get more information about Netflix subtitles.
