Select multiple built-in subtitle tracks in the drop-down list of the "T" section. If you have some external subtitles downloaded from the Internet, click "+" icon to embed subtitles to video (.srt and .ass formats are supported). You can only add one each time if you want to embed multiple .srt files to DVD.
