How to preserve a TED talk's subtitle and transcript language settings?

Question

Right now I have the same question for videos on the TED Talks website as I have for YouTube videos:

Is there any way to save/preserve the settings I make, so that I can forward the video with the settings loading upon opening the URL on a different PC in a different country?

For example I want to set subtitles and transcripts for this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html

Which has an /en/ in it. But as far as I tried, another country shortcode is not available (the URL goes to nowhere), i.e. changing this part of the string doesn't help. Any ideas what to do?

Answer 1

Actually it is possible by simply adding the string "/languagecode/" (e.g. /en/ or /de/).

You just have to check beforehand if the subtitle already exists! The setting you cannot store though is the "interactive transcript". But once the language is set, the transcript - when opened - is set to that same language (i.e. the translation, not English) as well!
