I am not sure if this is possible based on the way that Opensubtitles.org works/is configured, but it would be nice to have Plex be able to automatically download subtitles for the foreign language parts of movies that contain multiple languages (in particular I’m thinking things like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Bourne movies, etc.). As far as I know, Opensubtitles.org does collect foreign audio-only subtitles, but I’m not sure how difficult it is to only pull those down from the site.
This type of subtitle is called ‘forced’ subtitle in the Plex world.
If search for “foirced subtitle” you will find a plethora of threads about it.

As far as I know, opensubtitles does no such thing.
If they did, it would be very welcome.
There is no automated way to fetch ‘forced’ subtitles in Plex (that I know of - I wish I was wrong)
Don’t know if this is new, but it looks like opensubtitles.org does currently record whether a subtitle file if for foreign audio sections only, as indicated by this icon.
Don’t know if this is exposed in their API, but if it is it would be great to have an option in Plex to automatically download these kinds of subtitles, if they exist for a given film.
