Multiple caption tracks visible for accessibility

In the previous version of Premiere Pro, I was able to add multiple captions and make them visible in order to have English/Spanish on screen. But in the latest version (Version 15.0.0) only one track of captioning is available.

This makes it hard for those of us who are working on making our videos accessible to multiple audiences. Please bring back the ability to have multiple tracks of captioning visible at the same time.

I hav the same request and I have to burn in two languages at the same time in terms of accessibility. to solve it for now I exported and imported and exported again. But that does not feel to be the good soution.

Ahoy there!
I have the same issue. I would like to keep two cations (in 2 languages) active at a time. How can I do that? Is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

My work-around is with nests. Creating a new caption layer with each nest.

For teaching videos this is also a necessary feature.

For instances where videos are exported to different platforms across different languages this is also necessary for timesaving.

Additionally, the auto-new line feature creates problems for us multi-track users. We need to be able to create longer subtitle lines (even if this is done manually).

There is a need to burn in multiple languages at the same time. I'm working in Belgium (3 official languages), where some content could be in a third language (let's say English because that is very common). I should at a minimum have subtitles for this English video for both large language communities here, one in Dutch and one in French. If I can have a unique color and style for each track as well, that is all the better so that whoever may be reading along can have a visual cue to which track to follow quickly.
