[Feature proposition] Add a second Text box/area to paste a second language #8983

I don't know how easy/hard this might be, and even how helpful it would be, but please hear me out:

If you have a script in 2 languages, and you want to create subtitles for 2 languages at once, wouldn't something like this be helpful?

You'd select the audio duration, paste both texts, then click next, rinse and repeat, and once done, you'll be able to export 2 SRT files, each for a language.

What do you think?

Are you aware of translator mode? Open a subtitle and then go to Tools->Make new empty translation from current subtitle. If you want to paste subtitles into here, you should have a second subtitle file ready (where the timings are irrelevant), copy it, and then use Column paste, either by creating a keyboard shortcut for it, or by right-clicking on the first subtitle and then navigating to Column->Paste from keyboard.
