Naming convention
#1
Hello,
I have a few quick questions regarding naming convention of subtitle files that I cannot find an answer for in the wiki:

When naming subtitle files, it seems I can include additional information separated by dots? Like language, forced, sdh, etc?
I like to have the language in last place, can I put an info like .forced or .sdh before that ('moviename.forced.en.mkv') or does forced have to be the final entry ('moviename.en.forced.mkv')?
What do you recommend for multiple subtitle files of the same language? Using 'moviename.1.en.mkv', 'moviename.2.en.mkv' seems to work, or is there an issue with that?
AFAIK if a movie consists of multiple files these could be named 'moviename.part1.mkv', 'moviename.part2.mkv' etc.  Could this somehow possibly clash with the subtitle numbering?

Thanks,
vonson

No, it should not clash. But the subtitles should be names after the first part of the movie
