Hi Bridget, I developed an open source tool while I was at Museum of the Moving Image called Multicaptions <https://github.com/jasoneppink/multicaptions> that solved a whole host of problems I had with standard open captions. It's opt-in, external to the main screen (so it doesn't write on top of the work), supports as many languages as you want to supply, and the hardware costs less than an off-the-shelf media player. All the screens in MoMI's Jim Henson Exhibition gallery have been running it for a couple years now.
