FEATURE: Adding Subtitles

Heya! As an episode writer, I sometimes tend to write in different languages and add subtitle overlays for readers’ understanding. I don’t want them feeling left out, and maybe, give them a chance to learn a thing or two :wink: .
Would it be possible to have something like an editable text field, so that we can type in the translations in the text field, instead of creating several overlays which may take time to create(and also cumbersome when you edit the speech and have to change the overlay frequently) and get approved.
Feel free to add any other suggestions or ideas regarding subtitles under this topic.

You can use readerMessage to let them know the translation!

The readerMessage does not last long enough sometimes, and having to keep up with it can be hard. Having a subtitle that disappears as soon as the reader taps is more convenient, because it gives enough time for them to get the message. And also if they quit midway, then the readerMessage will not show up again. In my opinion readerMessage should be used to give the reader maybe status reports, or short messages from the author.
