Press C to switch. Hold V to peek. That's it. Netflix Subtitle Switch lets you change subtitle languages instantly while watching — no pause, no menu, no interruption. Just tap a key and the subtitles change on screen, right where you are. ⇄ C — Toggle between your primary and secondary language. Press once for Chinese, press again for English. Back and forth, one key. 👁 V — Hold to peek. Can't catch a line? Hold V and the subtitles switch to your other language. Let go and they switch right back. Your eyes never leave the screen.

The switch happens in under 100ms with zero UI interruption.
