Feature description

I would like the ability to display subtitles in two languages at the same time.

Why do you want this feature?

I use this for languages I speak almost fluently, but still need the subtitles to sometimes understand a word or to get the translation.

Currently I use the Dualsub Chrome Extension with Kiwi Browser. It's very slow because I have to use desktop mode. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dualsub/gnlibmlfpencglodjpgnalbdebfhpmfp?hl=en

When playing English movies in many non-English speaking countries, dual subtitles is literally how a movie displayed at the cinemas. In the early days, the people who develops subtitle-related programs and software don't know there are needs for dual subtitles, some video distributors have to use hard-coded subtitles to implement it.

Best way would be let the one who make the subtitle render-ers know about this first, instead of do it in some app that just includes the video player and subtitle render-er.

This would be great. There is an android app named lingotube that does something like this but, I think it would be better for newpipe to support this. I wonder how difficult or easy it might be to add this sort of functionality.

You can put hundreds of languages in a .srt file, you just need to select the languages you want to display at the same time. 555555555555554
