Dynamically switching track (vtt) file while video is playing

Question

I'm using VideoJS to load videos with captions. I'm hoping that there is a way in the api to dynamically switch from one .vtt caption file to another. I have a video with subtitles in both English and an alternate language. While the video is playing the visitor needs to toggle between either one.

Looking for something like:

_V_.Track.src="blah.vtt";

I suppose the alternate way would be to get the time position of the video and reload it with the other vtt.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm looking to do something similar to this with a caption track... but have also not been able to find a clean way to accomplish the task.

The best I can do is something like this:

document.getElementById("HtmlFiveMediaPlayer_html5_api").innerHTML = '<track label="English Captions" srclang="en" kind="captions" src="http://localhost/media/captiontest/demo_Brian/demo_h264_1.vtt" type="text/vtt" default />';

Where I insert the HTML directly into the video tag... but this doesn't work well with the CC button in video-js (doesn't get added / created at all if the track wasn't there when the tag was loaded).
