Ted Talks Subtitles Downloader

As my mother tongue is not english, I’ve been always appreciative of things like Ted Translations, because it allows me to share my findings on the web with people from my country, where not everybody is as fluent in english as to hear and understand every word of a TED Talk. But I’ve found annoying that you could watch the video with subtitles online, but you couldn’t download them in a appropriate format (I generally use the ‘.srt’ format).

I did some research, created a python script that lets you download the subtitles, and parse them from JSON to the ‘.srt’ format; but in these days a black-and-white command-line script is not acceptable. So I made it my first web-app, a TED Talk Subtitle Downloader.
