Default GAIA blu ray - 2021 eco-horror - forced subs?

Gaia is an effective and handsomely-filmed 2021 eco/body-horror set in the jungles of South Africa, and involves a variety of fungi that are able to destroy human tissue, as well as literally "devolving" or morphing other organisms into fungus.

The German blu ray disc has no English subtitle option, but has an English audio track option. The film itself has a significant amount of dialogue where the characters appear to be speaking in some South African dialect, perhaps Afrikaans. On the USA dvd, the Afrikaans portions of the dialogue are all translated by forced English subs, so that the English viewer can follow along.

My question is this, for anyone that owns the new German blu ray. On the German blu ray, WHEN the English audio is selected, are the Afrikaans dialect portions of the dialogue still translated with forced English subs for the English viewer? Or are they now forced German subs? Or are the forced subs completely absent?

I ask this because I want the blu ray, but will need to use the English audio. And if the Afrikaans dialogue is not translated to English, quite a bit of useful and important information is lost on the viewer. I'd hate to be forced to stick with the USA dvd on this release. It should be quite the looker in hi-def.
