It actually annoys me now that I have to go into the settings of every game just to turn the subtitles off
The idea of playing a narrative game without subtitles gives me anxiety lol
Okay Mr. Perfect Hearing and Focus
For some reason, Amazon Prime randomly has German subtitles turned on for me.
Holy shit, I'm not the only one???
It only happened for me on one show, and only when the characters on screen were speaking Spanish instead of English.
It had the hardcoded English translation, then a big "[SPEAKING SPANISH]" thing on top of that so I couldn't read it. Like yeah, no shit, how about you move so I can read the translation you asshole.
Then at the top of my screen, just MASSIVE subtitles in German for some reason with no ability to turn them off.
Almost the entire screen was filled with text, and I could only read "[SPEAKING SPANISH]".
Yeah, it happens a lot when there's text on screen. Even if it's a sign or something on screen.
I noticed it a lot when watching The Expanse. Any time a ship was in space there'd be text beneath it identifying it and Amazon would translate it to German.
To fix it, I'd halve to turn subtitles on then back off.
Probably your Alexa hearing you speaking in what it thinks is German.
