Is there a way via the TMDB API to see if foreign-language films have subtitles or even if they're dubbed in English?

As far as I know, no. I've never seen anything like it.
What is your language ?
Better check if it was released in Bluray in your country
and check if in Bluray there was the dubbing for your language.
In my country, Blurays are usually dubbed.
And of course, it also has the subtitle because it also
has the audio in the original language of the Movie.

Any plans for TMDB to add this Dubbed / Subbed as an new API Metadata feature?

Hi @Azmarine,
There is currently no plans for a feature like this.

Hi @travisbell ,
Thank you for your response.
I understand that there are no current plans for this feature, but I would like to emphasize how important it could be, particularly given the current rise in the Anime audience. Many users are actively seeking English Dubbed content, and a feature like this would allow them to easily filter and find what they’re looking for, enhancing their viewing experience.
Additionally, the same applies to other growing genres, such as Asian dramas, particularly Korean dramas. These genres have gained significant traction internationally, and audiences outside the original language-speaking countries are always on the lookout for dubbed versions or subtitled content.
Having metadata filters for dubbed and subtitled content could open up a wealth of opportunities for users and developers alike, making TMDB (themoviedb.org) even more valuable for an increasingly global audience.
I understand that there are other important bug fixes and plans, and this might not be on your current roadmap, but please do keep this feature in consideration, as many users are secretly wishing for such a function.
Thank you again for considering this suggestion!
Best regards, Azmarine
