For that, you need to install a free VLC extension and a software. The exte=
nsion loads the second subtitle and the software helps that extension to di=
splay/load the second subtitle. In the screenshot below, you can see that t=
wo different subtitles are visible in VLC player. The primary subtitles are=
 visible on the bottom part and secondary subtitles are displayed on the to=
p part.

Step 3: Once the extension is installed, you can access it from View tab in=
 VLC player. Now, the problem is this when you run this extension, it provi=
des a Refresh button and you need to keep pressing that button always so th=
at it can display the second subtitle.

There are a lot of users who want to play two subtitles together in VLC pla=
yer. This trick is gonna save time as well as help a lot of users. You just=
 need to set up things once and then you can enjoy playing two different su=
btitles in your favorite VLC media player. Try it.



Tip: For best results, you should rename subtitle files to something like n=
ameofvideofile.language.SRT. For instance, Myvideofile.eng.SRT. Then put th=
e files in the same folder as the video. This way, most media players will =
automatically detect the subtitles without you having to manually load them=
. Also, make sure your subtitles are synced correctly or they will display =
at different times.

KMPlayer has been able to play more than one subtitle at once for quite a f=
ew years. Apart from that ability, it also boasts a number of options for d=
isplaying, loading, and saving the subtitles back out again. Some of the ot=
her subtitle features are merging subtitles together, subtitle explorer/edi=
tor, syncing, multiple display and effect options, and an online subtitle f=
inder.

PotPlayer is by the same developer that created KMPlayer who decided to lea=
ve that project and start another. Unsurprisingly, PotPlayer also has a ran=
ge of subtitle options like KMPlayer, including a subtitle browser, online =
search/download, loads of tweaking and display options, and even a translat=
or. PotPlayer can show two subtitles on the video at the same time with one=
 at the top and one at the bottom.

You can view which subtitles are in the video by playing it with MPV and cy=
cling through the available subtitles by clicking on the right of the play/=
seek bar. Whichever number you want to show, enter that as the sid=3D##. Sa=
ve the batch file when you have finished and drop a file onto it to test.

You can follow the guide in our How To Add Two or More Subtitles to Video a=
rticle. The resulting SRT file should allow the player to play two or even =
three subtitles together automatically at the bottom of the video with opti=
onal different colors.

You can name subtitle files like in the article, so the player will recogni=
ze them, then you need to note down the order and use this numbers in the c=
ommand to set the subtitles the way you want. sid=3D1 is the first subtitle=
 track in order.

My best solution is GOM Player 2.3.60.5324 Version.This videoplayer shows t=
wo subtitles at the same time and it works very simple.You start a film and=
 you draw into Gom the first srt, then draw into the second one.And you can=
 watch the film with two srt!

You can also use DualSub (dualsub.sourceforge.net), which is an open source=
 tool to merge SRT subtitles. It can be customized for different players fe=
atures. In addition it allows to translate subtitles if you only have one i=
nput subtitle file.

Is there a way to display multiple subtitles at the same time? It would hel=
p a lot while learning a new language. I have some *.mkv movie with two emb=
edded subtitles, how would I turn them both on, so that one will be on the =
bottom and another one on the top? Or at least a fast switch with immediate=
 text update without rewinding back would be nice.

I'm going to assume that all the subtitles are either built-in (as specifie=
d in the question) or in a separate, but suitably named external file (e.g.=
 if your movie is called file1.mkv your subtitle file should be file1.srt).=
 If not, you can specify the subtitle files explicitly by adding the option=
s --sub-file=3Dsubtitle_file_lang_xx.src, --sub-file=3Dsubtitle_file_lang_y=
y.src etc. or by playing around with --sub-auto (e.g. --sub-auto=3Dfuzzy).

Irrespective of how they were chosen (built-in or from an external file) ea=
ch set of subtitles will be in its own "stream" when you play the video fil=
e. The streams are assigned consecutive, integer indices (1, 2, 3...). In g=
eneral, the built-in subtitles will (logically) have the earlier indices. T=
he stream indices, their languages (if the subtitle has a specified languag=
e), and whether the subtitle comes from an external file, are displayed in =
the terminal when you play your file with mpv. For example, after running m=
pv file1.mkv:

Knowing these indices, you can specify the "main" and secondary subtitles w=
ith the options --sid and --secondary-sid. For example, to display the Engl=
ish subtitles, from the previous example, as the main subtitles, and the Fr=
ench ones as the secondary ones, you can run (in a terminal):

When playing a video, you need to "Toggle secondary subtitle control" with =
the default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. (This means that the normal subtitle con=
trol shortcuts like v or Alt+v, for cycling between subtitles backwards and=
 forwards, will now apply to the secondary subtitles, rather than the main =
subtitles. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+V again will toggle back to having these app=
ly to the main subtitles.) Then, press v the right number of times to switc=
h to the (secondary) subtitles that you want.

Alternatively you can consider KMplayer for Microsoft Windows. I never trie=
d it, because I don't have a Windows, but apparently it is what always come=
s out top if you google for dual subtitle players.

Most video players do not have the ability to play two concurrent sets of s=
ubtitles at once. But luckily it is easy enough to combine two subtitles in=
to one file online. At  -bien.net/2srt2ass/ select the Spanish subtitle fil=
e you downloaded in step one, and add it as the top subtitle, and the Engli=
sh subtitle file as the bottom.

Also, SMPlayer can play two subtitles simultaneously. You can load subtitle=
s via load options and then choose primary and secondary subtitles. This is=
 my favorite since there are no keyboard shortcuts to memorize.

I had a similar question as OP except I wanted transcribe subtitles from a =
video and then translate them, combining the results into one file that wou=
ld automatically play in VLC. It worked: Looking for a subtitle translator-=
&-merger to create dual-language subtitles.

I have a mkv video which embeds English and German subtitles. I watch the m=
kv video on VLC player. At any one time, I can only select one of the subti=
tles. I would like to learn German. Watching video with both English and Ge=
rman subtitles appearing at the same time would help.

I'm going to assume that all the subtitles are either embedded (as specifie=
d in the question) or in a separate, but suitably named external file (e.g.=
 if your movie is called file1.mkv your subtitle file should be file1.srt).=
 If not, you can specify the subtitle files explicitly by adding the option=
s --sub-file=3Dsubtitle_file_lang_xx.src, --sub-file=3Dsubtitle_file_lang_y=

ish subtitles, from the previous example, as the main subtitles, and the Ge=
rman ones as the secondary ones, you can run (in a terminal):

Opening a sidecar captions file allows to view it alongside the video. Use =
this method to check subtitles and captions at the beginning of your editin=
g phase. This is also the preferred option for players/platforms requiring =
subtitles to be uploaded in a separate file.

To permanently add subtitles to a video, you can use a service like Rev, wh=
o will send you a fully captioned video with the captions permanently hardc=
oded. This way, they will automatically be enabled on any player, including=
 VLC.

There is also an option to add your subtitle file to your video directly in=
 VLC. However, as this is a media player and not an editing tool, its encod=
ing options are limited. To encode subtitles in VLC on Mac, go to the File =
tab, then select Convert and Stream:
