Is there software to automatically add subtitles to the videos?
I am looking for a software or media player that has subtitles automatically.
For example with VLC, if I do not have the subtitle file, I can not have the subtitles.
Is there any software that allows me to translate English subtitles to Spanish automatically?

Thanks @GabrielaGarcia for the contribution. Which of the two is the one that works when downloading the files? What you mention is a player or a translator? Thank you. What I want is to be able to put subtitles, either one way or another, maybe I should not put in the question "automatically"

Kodi and Emby is what I use. Both require settings for it and if using the opensutitles.org service you also need to create an account. It is not a translator in any case. It merely searches the databases with the file title and/or metadata and if there are subtitles available for the chosen language it'll download and use them. If there aren't it won't, of course. Here's an example for Kodi: kodisubtitles.net

If there are no subtitles available in the websites that provide them then there's nothing to do. I've been saying since the beginning that what you want - an automatic translator - doesn't exist. What exists is plugins for media players that can automate the some process that otherwise you would do manually - download a subtitles file.

VLSub - A VLC extension for adding subtitles to videos
VLC has an extension called VLSub which allows you to download and add subtitles to your videos.
The package is called vlc-plugin-sub which you can find either in Software Manager or install from the command line (Ctrl+Alt+t) with the command: sudo apt install vlc-plugin-sub.
Optionally, you could install it manually, either from the above VideoLan link, or from the developer's repository on GitHub:
- Click on the download link (located on the files tab on the VideoLan site).
Save the file and extract "vlsub.lua" and save the file "vlsub.lua" in either of the two following directories:
Linux (all users):
/usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
Linux (current user):
~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
The plugin downloads subtitles from the site opensubtitles.org. These are user-submitted files so subtitles for a particular video may sometimes not be available or out of sync with the particular version of your video.
VLSub usage:
- Once the extension is installed, Select View-->VLSub-->Research from the VLC menu.
- You will be presented will a dialog box like this:
- Search by Name, hash or any additional details you may want to add.
- Select Download Selection. This will download your selection(usually an .srt file) to the same directory as the video and start using the subtitle.
