We watch a lot of movies with alien languages, Marvel, Star Wars, Dune, that type of sci-fi stuff. We are struggling to find the type of subtitles that are just for when aliens talk. I looked around, and it appears they’re called Forced Subtitles, but when we search for subtitles, all we get is the entire movie in English.
Where can we find these more specific ones?
I wish this style of subs was just baked into the media. I had the same issue with the Dany parts of GoT and also with parts of BCS (Spanish and German are fantasy languages, don’t @ me)

I have bazaar setup to pull full subtitles (and strip cc from them) but I have never gotten a release without forced subs I’m pretty sure. Maybe check where your pulling releases from, I find Usenet releases are good for including subs in the file.
Check out Bazarr, it can automate finding subtitles.
I use that but still have issues…
Any tips for settings?
Depends on your issues, the more info you give the more others can help
Maybe check out open subtitles?
Besides that, in my experience movies with foreign languages usually have the subtitles embedded in the file itself (usually as ASS / SSA format), so maybe try to download movies with embedded subtitles.
If it’s a MKV, it’ll probably have them.in the file. You just need to use Handbrake and select the correct track to burn.into the file if you convert to a MP4.
