I have a few questions on subtitles. Normally, they are relatively straight forward, but when it comes to foreign-speaking only parts (usually in fantasy or science fiction) alien only parts, I have some issues. I can easily find the SRT files to only show subtitles when alien or foreign languages are being spoken in an otherwise english film.

I have 2 questions.

1: I have limited success getting these foreign-only subtitles to be forced, where they are on by default, and the only ones on by default.

2: When I call up the subtitles menu, both the english subtitles and the foreign only subtitles are both labeled "English". Is there no way to differentiate these two sets of subtitles? I have to pick one and hope I get the correct one.

The tools I use are Handbrake, iFlicks and Subler. I am working with OS X Yosemite.

Thanks so much!
Scott
