I use the one from the site, somewhere there is a javascript associative array with that info. Check out the source code (sorry if it's too awful) here: http://github.com/eordano/Ted-Talk-Subtitle-Download

Sometimes it isn't the same as the mp4 that you can download, and you have to change that manually. This is the link that you can use to do so:

http://tedtalksubtitledownload.appspot.com/get_subtitle?tedtalkid=XX&lang=YY&timeIntro=ZZ

Fill in the XX, YY and ZZ with appropiate info.

If you need further help, please contact me here or you can find my email address on the top of this page.

Me alegro mucho que te haya servido Roberto!

YouTube no sé cómo guarda sus subtitulos. Los que son autogenerados, no creo que sea fácil!... los que sube un usuario por ahí es menos difícil.

It took 15 hours to figure out that executing scripts is done in the dos command prompt, that scripts must be in the same folder as the python program, and the command is python xxx.py. Hope to see an online version soon hahaha wow, you programmers are crazy.

changed simplejson to json in line 58;

now...
entering 2+ languages leaves error lines on 88, 82 and 62

entering 1 language gives the text of the speech

For Python27
Line 3: import simplejson
change to
Line 3: import json

Where do you find the ID numbers for the tedtalks?

I'm getting the "could not fetch subtitles!" message

I have got as far as saving the code as a .py file, downloading a python interpreter then double clicking on the .py file. HAHA after some more hours the code and process will not seem like black magic!

An online version would be great!
