Hello Maria,
If the delivery of the movie is on DVD, then DVD Architect can do that very easily. All you need is a text file, in a specific format, that you can import as subtitles to the movie. I have done this for a client's DVD release in multiple subtitles - English, French and Spanish. If you have DVDA, take a look at the user manual.

In Vegas, you just need to add a track above the video where you insert text events as and where needed.

Maria,
Open DVDA 4.5 and go to Help. Serch for subtitle and you'll find an easy explanation to follow.

In short:
1. Add video
2. Double-click on video
3. Look for + on menu items on Timeline toolbar, click and add subtitle track
4. When you hover over the toolbar icons, you'll see 'Import subtitles'
This will import a plain text file - each block of subtitle text separated by blank line
5. Once text is on the track, you can move each block to where it matches voice.
6. You can add as many subtitle tracks as you have languages.
There is a pulldown to set the subtitle language for a each subtitle track.

Hope this gets you going.
Tom

edit: if you're on Skype, email me via this forum (click on my name in the post) and I'll be happy to talk you through this.
edit: I just noticed you're on DVDA Studio. I am not sure if it has that capability. I am using the Pro version.
edit: I compared the two manuals. It looks like there is no subtitle support in Studio 4.5. You can still do this hard way as I described in my earlier post with Vegas.
