You find several large subtitle databases on the Internet and it is normally only a matter of time until you find the subtitle that you are looking for. Instead of searching for subtitles manually you could also try the software Sublight which can search for and add subtitles in an easy to use interface.
Sublight is directly connected to the Subtitles On Net community which maintains a large database of subtitles. The program provides an easy to use search for subtitles and an option to pick a local video file and search for its subtitle. This has the additional benefit that both can be played in your favorite media player right away without having to move the subtitle into the right directory on your pc.
The subtitle search works flawlessly and it’s possible to change a few settings to decrease the time it takes to find the right subtitle to add. You can filter for languages for instance which obviously makes sense. It is furthermore possible to set a year, episode or season if that is known.
The results list is then showing the subtitles that were found for your search querry. If you have selected a local video you can simply double-click the subtitle to play the video with it. Not all applications can be used though, it was tested with the likes of Media Player Classic, BS Player and VLC but it should work just fine with additional ones.
Sublights provides a very convenient way to search for and add subtitles. The database is large enough to hold most popular movies in it.
