Is it possible to add selectable subtitles to a DCP that can be turned on and off?
Or would that be achieved by turning the VF subtitles off / on during projection?
Thanks!
Btw, this is what I'm being asked to provide: "1 DCP 2K with EN subtitles switchable on/off"
on / off subtitles?

Not really... you can make a OV (with no subtitles) and a VF (with subtitles); then if the projectionist plays the OV they get no subs, with the VF they get subs. But "turning them on or off" is not easy (and often impossible for the operator).

Isn't just creating a DCP with two CPLs, one with subtitles and one without? Projectionist selects the correct one at playback time

Right, that's more-or-less what I was trying to suggest - sadly the "making a single DCP" part is not as easy in DCP-o-matic as it could be.
