It depends on your setup, the format of your files and what you are streaming to.

Just had a look at my collection for GoT and found there are a mix of none, internal subs and others with them burned in.
You can download external subs from several sites, I got mine from here, set (English) and (Foreign only) filters on to find what you need easier.
Copy the .srt files to the same directory as your episodes, making sure the files start with the same name like this:- UMS should recognition them. How they are displayed depends on your renderer and config though.
Mine is set up to stream the .srt with a video that is natively playable on my renderer which prevents unnecessary transcoding.
I think by default UMS will transcode and burn in any subs it finds if you have that option selected, or you can choose in the #--Transcode--# folder

So if I under stand properly I want to download each one for each episode, put it in the subtitle folder for each season and make sure it is named the exact same as episode.

yeah pretty much. just put the srt files in the same folder as your video files, that's the first place UMS looks for subs, not sure if it checks for a subtitle folder though.
I know you can set up a central subtitle folder but i don't use that so not sure how to do it exactly.

Just make sure the start of the file name for the srt matches the video file, any thing extra will be used to try and identify the language.
there is an option to add subtitle information to video names so you can see if the subs have been detected by UMS.

PS4 supports subtitles so i've added these options to my Sony-PlayStation4.config to tell UMS not to burn in subs and let my PS4 handle it PS3 doesn't support subs, so UMS has to handle them. as long as they are not disabled they should be automatically on. check the subtitle settings in the transcoding settings.

I no longer use the built in PS3 media player since i have custom firmware on my ps3, which allowed me to install Movian. It is much better than the media players on PS3 or PS4 and plays just about anything.
