Mplayer subtitle question

If the movie is playing in English and someone in the movie start speaking Spanish. There should be subtitles in telling you what they are saying. I am not sure if they are called subtitles. I search the web and could not find the answer. I am not into video editing or anything, I just want the movie to play like it does on TV.

Subtitles can be rendered into the picture or be provided in a seperate (text)file. If none is present, you won't see any translation.

mplayer dvd://1 -slang en

That show subtitles for every word. I want to see the subtitles for words that are spoken in languages other than the language that the movie is in.

Say the language is in english and someone in the movie speaks Apache. When it is played on the TV the words are printed on the screen when Apache is spoken. Maybe they are not called subtitles.

Thanks
