Open the subtitle with Notepad and make the changes to text. When you close, it will ask you if you want to save the changes. Yes, save. I recommend saving a backup of the original too, but easy enough to reopen the zip file and renaming it.I'd also like to help out with editing existing subtitles. Some of the ones I've downloaded aren't very good and and some are virtually unintelligible. Who should I contact? Or will someone contact me? I'm a retired professor of English with lots and lots of editorial experience.
For something as awful as you say, you will be making a lot of changes to text and it is very time-consuming. You will be constantly pausing the movie to make your changes. As an example, I downloaded _The Blind Side_ and the subtitles for it had some obvious mistakes and missed meanings, having been done by someone whose first language is not English. That is not a criticism of the author; this movie had southern dialect and American football references, an impossible task for someone not familiar with those. It took me four hours, about an hour longer than I expected. There still were three places where I could not understand what was said, even using headphones.
W@hen uploading don't forget to credit the original author. There is a lot of plagiarism going on here, which puzzles me.
