Hi,
Never had a problem finding Chinese Subtitles from OpenSubtitles.org but when I changed to OpenSubtitles.com it would only ever show English subtitles.
For anyone else having this problem, this is the solution I used.
(Obviously you have installed the OpenSubtitles.com Add-on and have added your OpenSubtitles.com account/password)
Now make sure the OpenSubtitles.com Add-on is the latest version 1.0.2 (at the time of writing). If it isn't, upgrade it.
Exit Kodi and add the following to your advancedsettings.xml
Start Kodi and navigate to [Settings>Player>Subtitles] then in the [Download Services] section, select [Languages to download subtitles for] scroll down and select Chinese (Simplified-ch) and Chinese (Traditional-ch) then select OK to exit.
You will now see Chinese (Simplified-ch) and Chinese (Traditional-ch) has been added next to [Languages to download subtitles for]
Now when you Search for Subtitles in the OpenSubtitles.com Add-on while watching a Movie or TV programme, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional subtitles will be shown (if any).
Note: Not sure if it is a bug in the Kodi Add-on but it appears the default is always get English Subtitles too.
