[QLab] multiple languages

[Vincent Olivieri]

Great responses all.  The idea of duplicating audio files seems like a klugy
workaround, but it definitely would work.

I had another idea (feature request).  What if, in a video cue, one could
assign different clips (or jpgs) to different display patches.  For example,
Q_A_ENGLISH would be patched to display patch 2 and Q_A_SPANISH would be
patched to display patch 3.  As part of my preset, I can choose which
display patch channel could get routed to the projector.
