If you're watching a PeerTube video, you can access subtitles (if it has any) by clicking the cog ⚙️ icon and selecting "subtitles/cc", then the language you want.

For example, this video has subtitles in 12 different languages:

You may need to press play to get the cog icon to appear.

Subtitles are normally done manually and added as files by the person uploading the video.

PeerTube admins may also want to try an unofficial transcription plugin which adds automatically generated subtitles. More info about the plugin at:

(I am not sure what the status of the plugin is though... Does anyone know if it is still being maintained?)
