I’ve been asked to produce a website with several videos, 15 or 20 of them, all about 2 minutes in length. The client would like the user to have the option of displaying subtitles in one of 2 languages, or none. I’ve done subtitles for DVD work before, but never for the web. Can this be done? If so, how?
Thanks!

I think that this may be partly determined by how you are serving these videos. Certainly youtube offers the option to show/hide subtitles Manage subtitle settings - Computer - YouTube Help
Other players may not be so helpful.
There is also the question of whether the subtitles are included as a separate file or integrated into the video itself - again different players work in different ways.
For ease I think it would make sense to have your videos hosted by one of the services which offer subtitle options but you will need to look into which of these offers something to suit.
