In fact, if there is an English speaking person and a foreign language speaking person in an interview they'll provide the subtitles for the foreign language only. 
As a deaf person I contacted Criterion about this and they basically told me that it would cost too much to provide the additional subtitles.  I don't believe that for one minute. |
The strange thing is that they often port over existing extras from previous releases and sometimes those extras already have English subtitles but when it appears on the Criterion release, those English subtitles are not never included. For example, I believe the original MGM release of
The Great Escape has English subtitles for the extras.
