Sorry but this is a private server provided by the ISP. 
I have signed an agreement not to "spam" out the link away. 
When you play a DVD don't you have that function?
I tried to play it with the DVD but failed too, cannot find the menu to access.

I found the solution how to switch the preferred subtitle language:
Sure it can work only if the source file of your ISP offers english subtitles.

"Real Player / Real One player
 
From the Real Player menu, Choose 'Tools' 
Next, pick the Preferences item (Screenshot 1) 
In the preference page (Screenshot 2) choose Content 
Now you can see the option for 'Show subtitles' - check this box 
There is also an option for 'Supplemental text captioning' - check
this box as well. "
from:
Captionkit
( http://www.captionkit.com/switchoncaptions.php )
The screenshots not included here can be seen there.

I hope this solves your problem.

Hi
I've up to the Preferences screen. 
I don't see any "Show subtitles" there.
I'm using RealPlayer version 10.

Then you will see the option for subtitles and for the preferred
language for content.
This all refers to Real Player 10.

Yes I tried that but the subtitles does not come on. 
It should have display all the languages availible on the DVD but only
choose English as the default and can't change to the others.
I find a much better way using Window Media Player.
Thanks alot for the help.

But I would also want to know how to do it on Real.

Displaying subtitles is of course limited to the available subtitles
in the video source. If no other languages can be selected the source
simply does not offer them.

I tried it on the DVD Player and it works fine also with the WMP. 
But there IS problems with RealPlayer

In your question you were talking about a streaming video form your
ISP, not about a DVD.
In my opinion Realplayer is not the best choice to play DVDs on your
PC. There are several specialised  DVD player programs available.
