For Desktop Agents: Buckle up, James Bond. Look for the little gear icon or the word "Settings" during playback. Click it, and a menu will appear. Navigate to "Subtitles" and choose your weapon (I mean, subtitle language) of choice.

For Mobile Operatives: This is where things get sneaky. While the video's playing, tap the screen to bring up the control panel. There should be a subtitle icon (it often looks like a closed caption symbol). Click it, and select your preferred language.
Step 2: Deception is Key (Especially When Turning Subtitles Off)
Maybe you're feeling confident in your deciphering skills after a few episodes. To turn subtitles off and go rogue, follow the same steps as above. Just remember, this is where your mission becomes one of deception. Instead of choosing a subtitle language, select "Off" and enjoy the challenge.
