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.

There are regions where movie theaters always show two languages in the subtitle, for example Switzerland with germand and french. This doesn't only apply for movie theaters but is also used online etc.

Abode shows us again and again they think their users are children and need to have training wheels on their professional software.

Also agree, this is needed. Language accessibility decisions shouldn't be made by people who don't understand real-world (non-anglophone) use-cases.

Actions speak louder than words, as they say... and in both words (or lack thereof) and actions, Adobe is making it clear as a bell that they don't care about their users.

The update we got in October is a testament to how they set and follow their own agenda, oblivious to user requests for solutions to far more pressing issues.

What's the point of this website if it's met by clear and irrefutable apathy by the Pr team?
I've been one of the world's biggest Pr advocates and feedback providers. Sadly, my hope to see the Pr team leave their egos aside and actually demonstrate they care about their users is drawing thin. 😞

Will it take a mass exodus to Davinci Resolve for the Pr team to finally listen?

I don't need two tracks visible at the same time, I would like the ability to add a second caption track so that I could add Spanish subtitles on one track, and English translations on the other. That way, depending on who I need to export the cut for, I can enable either of those caption tracks.
