Have you tried doing a copy and paste from the subtitle timeline that includes your current subtitles to the new subtitle timeline?

If you select all on the first subtitle track (Ctrl+a) and then right-click to copy then right-click to paste on the new subtitle timeline, it should work.

In addition to what Steve suggested, you could also save your project under a different name and then open that project, and change each subtitle.

No, a much better way to handle this is to create a subtitle file in subtitle utility - there are many out there, create a copy of the file, then edit in your two selected languages.
Import the saved two different files, one for each subtitle track.

If you try to manipulate all within DVDAPro from the getgo - you will have no hair left.

Thanks for your responses. Steve's and Dave's solution gives you the timeline lengths but you still have to paste every single text line, indeed leaving you hairless.

But Tguy made me think outside the program. What I ended up doing is exporting the first language to a .txt file, opening it in Word and substituting the phrases there with the new language. Save as language2.txt, import that file and you have the new text with the correct timeline. You saved me hours of work!
