I use VLC that automatically opens subtitles with same name as movie:



Movie:    [Name].avi
Sutitles: [Name].srt


But i wonder how should i name subtitles if i have more than one.

          Just add the name of the language between the movie name and the extension:



          Just like:



          Movie: [Name].avi
          English Subtitles:[Name].en.srt
          French Subtitles: [Name].fr.srt
          Spanish Subtitles: [Name].es.srt

            What if there's more than one file for the same language? E.g., multiple translations.
