Make the written-language requirement explicit
If your goal is to read Irish while listening, record Irish subtitles as a requirement alongside the programme topic. Irish audio, an Irish interface and Irish written captions are separate attributes. A suitable drama in the catalogue does not establish that its selected episode has the written track you need.
TG4’s launch announcement says the new filter covers its expanded Irish-subtitled offering, including drama, children’s material and selected documentaries. Use that stated subtitle scope rather than limiting a search to a familiar series simply because it has historically supplied Irish text. The catalogue can contain other useful candidates without every title qualifying.
Search by subtitle availability, then choose an item
Use TG4+’s dedicated Irish-subtitle filter described in the announcement and combine it with your subject or genre interest as the service permits. Preserve the chosen filter with the result reference. A search result is a candidate for viewing, not a record that its subtitle track has been operated successfully on your device.
Open the intended episode and inspect its available text options. Check the episode identity and selected subtitle language before relying on it for a study session. A launch announcement identifies a discovery feature; it does not establish that its controls have identical placement in every TG4+ application.
Keep discovery and playback observations separate
If an item is returned by the filter but its player offers no Irish-text choice, record both the filtered result and the episode’s actual options. That mismatch is more informative than reporting that the whole service has no Irish captions. Also distinguish optional text from older subtitles embedded in a programme image.
For a saved viewing list, keep each episode’s title, reference and confirmed text language rather than only the broad search page. This makes the list useful when catalogue ordering changes and avoids confusing a recommendation for Irish-speaking audiences with a verified written-Irish viewing resource. A future session can begin from the selected item and its relevant track requirement.
