Partial subtitles on 'mostly' English videos
#1
Some films are 95% English and 5% another language. So Captain America has a bit of German, couple of Star Trek films have a bit of Klingon and I'm sure there are plenty of other examples. I understand how SRT files work, but what I'm struggling with is finding a subtitle file that just fills in the foreign (to me) language parts and not just subtitle the whole thing.

Are these 'partial' SRT files available? Note that I don't have the facility to rip my Blu-Ray collection (no Blu-Ray drive) so I can't get the subtitles from my disks and burn them into the video file (if that's the right terminolgy).

Any ideas on how I can solve this? Is there a funky add-on that will auto-subtitle the relevant bits for me (now that WOULD be cool)?

yes, just look for subtitles that have comments such as "foreign parts only". SubScene have plenty
