How to Enable Multi-Language Subtitles and Audio on Vimeo Videos

When publishing videos for a global audience, providing content in multiple languages helps improve accessibility, engagement, and the overall viewing experience. Vimeo allows videos to include subtitles (captions) and alternative audio tracks in different languages, making it easier for viewers around the world to understand and interact with the content.

By enabling multi-language subtitles and audio, you can select their preferred language while watching a video, which is especially helpful for non-native speakers or users who prefer localized content.

In this guide, you will learn how to enable and switch between different subtitle and audio language options when watching tutorial videos provided by Sportradar.

Change the Subtitle or Audio Language

Follow these steps to change the subtitle or audio language while watching a video:

1

Open the video player settings

Click the Settings icon (⚙️) located in the bottom-right corner of the video player.

2

Select subtitle options

In the settings menu, select CC/Subtitles to view the available subtitle languages. For example, selecting Español will display captions in Spanish.

3

Select audio options

From the settings menu, choose Audio to view available spoken language tracks. For example, selecting Español will switch the video’s audio to Spanish.

The video will automatically switch to the selected subtitle or audio language.

Tip

If subtitles or audio tracks in your preferred language are unavailable, the video will continue to play in the default language. Additional languages may be added to videos over time to improve accessibility for our global audience. 🌍
