text of speech on screen
Words at the bottom of a movie or video that show what people say, often in another language.
用法模式：
to watch [something] with [language] subtitles

Learners sometimes confuse 'subtitles' with 'dubbing'. 'Subtitles' are written words on the screen, while 'dubbing' is replacing the original speech with a different recorded voice in another language.

to add subtitles to video
To put the spoken words of a movie or video on the screen as text, usually in another language.
用法模式：
to subtitle [a film / video] (in [language])
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *'translate subtitles a film'* instead of 'subtitle a film'. The verb 'subtitle' already includes the idea of translating and adding text, so say 'subtitle a film', not 'translate subtitles a film'.
近义词
caption (In video production contexts, 'caption' can mean to provide onscreen text, but it is more associated with accessibility features.)
