How to Rip/Copy Forced Subtitles only from Blu-ray movies?

How do I keep forced subtitles when converting Blu-ray movies?

I just finished converting a bunch of movies from Blu-ray and I just realized now I lost all the forced subtitles (for example: subtitles that translate fictional languages) for everything. Any advice moving forward on how to not lose these subtitles when converting my Blu-rays?

Forced subtitle is the subtitle appearing on screen when the characters speak a foreign or alien language, or there is a sign, location, or other text in a scene which needs to be explained but cannot be translated in the localization or dubbing. For example, in a Blu-ray movie, main characters come to Italy and meet the local people who speak Italian, then the Blu-ray will show the translation of the Italian speech in text to help audience who don’t know Italian to grasp the movie details. To help you understand the lines that are spoken in foeign languages, it’s necessary to have a backup for these Blu-rays with keeping Forced Subtitles. Below we will introduce you this term and teach you how to do this.
