Trying different distributions is a must on using Linux, I still remember my first one, Mandrake, and is not a happy memory. Now Arch is my master, to get here It was not an easy or direct ride, I tried several ones through the years until I find the light ;)
if you have powerful enough computer you can use an AI to auto translate subs offline, I use to translate from english with a small python script. It’s not perfect, but they usually are like 90% ok
