Subtitles missing!

Where have the subtitles gone?
Up to last week I had the option of watching most of the Talks with subtitles.
Now that option seems to have been removed.
I can search for subtitled talks and filter using specific languages but but seem to be able to access them.
What's happened?
I'm profoundly deaf by the way.

Jul 20 2012: I think TED should have transcripts available. I don't give a hoot for the videos; a jpg of the speaker would suffice for me. I would get a lot more value from raw text - none of this PDF garbage. Raw text can be easily manipulated by local tools to better serve the unique circumstances of any impairment.

  Jul 21 2012: V Alexander transcripts of TEDTalks are available. Just click "Show transcripts" button which is located at the right bottom of the player.

    Jul 21 2012: TED gives access to raw text transcripts - I feel very foolish, but it is totally eclipsed by how happy I am - thanks, Ahmet! The text can be selected and pasted in any text editor.
