Crunchyroll is the world's biggest anime streaming platform, but its built-in subtitle options are limited — Turkish is not officially supported. If you want to watch your favourite anime on Crunchyroll with Turkish subtitles, you need a smart workaround. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to do it in minutes, for free, using the Sublo Chrome extension. No technical skills required.
Why Crunchyroll Doesn't Offer Turkish Subtitles Natively
Crunchyroll provides subtitles in a handful of major languages — English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, and a few others. Turkish is not on that list, which leaves millions of Turkish-speaking anime fans stuck watching in a language they don't understand perfectly, or hunting for unofficial subtitle files.
The good news is that you don't need to wait for Crunchyroll to add official Turkish support. With a real-time subtitle translator, you can automatically translate whatever subtitles Crunchyroll displays — instantly, as the episode plays.
What You Need Before You Start
Getting Crunchyroll Turkish subtitles requires just two things:
- Google Chrome browser — Sublo is a Chrome extension and works exclusively in Chrome.
- A Crunchyroll account — a free tier account is enough to follow these steps.
That's it. You don't even need to create a Sublo account to use the free tier.
Step-by-Step: Setting Up Crunchyroll Turkish Subtitles with Sublo
Step 1 — Install the Sublo Chrome Extension
Open Google Chrome and head to subloapp.com. Click the "Get Sublo" button, which will take you to the Chrome Web Store listing. Click "Add to Chrome", then confirm by clicking "Add extension" in the pop-up dialog. The installation takes only a few seconds. Once installed, you'll see the Sublo icon appear in your Chrome toolbar.
Step 2 — Open Crunchyroll and Start Playing an Episode
Navigate to crunchyroll.com and log in to your account. Browse to any anime series and open an episode. Press play and let the video start. Make sure Crunchyroll's built-in subtitles are turned on — English subtitles work best as the source language, since Crunchyroll's English subtitles are the most complete and accurate.
Step 3 — Open the Sublo Extension
While the episode is playing, click the Sublo icon in your Chrome toolbar. A small panel will appear. If you don't see the icon immediately, click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome's toolbar to find and pin Sublo.
Step 4 — Select Turkish as Your Translation Language
Inside the Sublo panel, find the "Translate to" dropdown menu. Scroll through the list of 30+ supported languages and select Turkish. Sublo uses DeepL's translation engine under the hood, which delivers high-quality, natural-sounding translations — far better than older machine-translation tools.
Step 5 — Enable Subtitle Translation
Toggle the translation switch to the ON position in the Sublo panel. Within a second or two, you'll see translated Turkish subtitles appear on the video. Sublo detects the subtitles Crunchyroll renders on screen and translates them in real time, frame by frame, as the dialogue progresses.
Step 6 — (Optional) Enable Dual Subtitle Mode
Want to see both the original English subtitles and the Turkish translation simultaneously? Sublo supports a dual subtitle mode that displays two subtitle tracks at once. Simply enable this option in the panel. This is especially useful if you're also learning Turkish — you can compare both languages side by side while you watch. For more on this feature, check out our guide on watching anime with dual subtitles.
Step 7 — Customise the Subtitle Appearance
Sublo gives you full control over how your subtitles look. In the extension panel you can adjust:
- Font size — make text larger or smaller to suit your screen.
- Font colour — choose white, yellow, or any custom colour.
- Position — move the subtitles higher or lower on the screen.
Once you've dialled in your preferred settings, they'll be remembered for future sessions.
Free vs. Pro: How Much Can You Watch for Free?
Sublo's free tier gives you 10 minutes of translated subtitles per day — no account or credit card required. For a quick episode catch-up or a short OVA, that's often enough to get started. If you're binge-watching a long series like Attack on Titan or One Piece, you'll want to upgrade to Sublo Pro, which offers unlimited translation with a monthly or annual subscription. Head to the pricing page to compare plans.
Tips for the Best Crunchyroll Turkish Subtitle Experience
- Use English as your source subtitle language. Crunchyroll's English subtitles are the most polished and will produce the most accurate Turkish translation via DeepL.
- Avoid simulcast delays. Brand-new episodes sometimes have slightly rough English subtitles. If the Turkish translation seems off, it may reflect an issue with the source text.
- Keep Chrome updated. Sublo works best on the latest version of Chrome. Check chrome://settings/help to make sure you're up to date.
- Learning Japanese through anime? Try enabling dual subtitles with Japanese as the first track and Turkish as the translation. See our post on dual subtitles with a Chrome extension for a full walkthrough.
Does This Work on Other Streaming Platforms Too?
Yes — Sublo isn't limited to Crunchyroll. The extension works on Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, YouTube, and most other major streaming services. So if you want Turkish subtitles on Netflix anime like Dorohedoro or on YouTube channels, the same steps above apply. Learn more in our guide on how to translate Netflix subtitles.
