User to be able select the language when starting a video - either for content or subtitles

We have regions (Like the UK) where learners may have an English account, but do not speak English that well.

If I have produced a video in 3 languages (English / Polish / Romanian) I would like the user to be able to switch between them, or them to be prompted on startup.

I would also like the ability that if I have uploaded 3 subtitles files (English / Polish / Romanian) as translating video content is expensive, that there is a prompt to ask the learner if they would like subtitles on when starting the video.

At the moment they have to know to click the very small "cc" button at the bottom of the video.

    I have previously achieved this by making the first step of the course be a language selection page. The user is then directed to watch the correct content based on the language selected. You can achieve this in Create.

    If you don't have create, another way to achieve it is to add the video as three separate learning objects. The language would be added in the title of the learning object so the user knows which one to select and the correct version of the subtitle files would be loaded to each one.
