Editing Dubbing (section)

==Dubbing into varieties==
{{more citations needed section|date=August 2013}}
In the case of languages with large communities (such as [[English language|English]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Hindi language|Hindi]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[German language|German]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], or [[French language|French]]), a single translation may sound foreign to native speakers in a given region. Therefore, a film may be translated into a certain variety of a certain language.

[[Hispanic America]] and [[Spain]] use different versions of dubbed films and series.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Quinteros |first=Paulo |date=2019-10-04 |title=Las peores traducciones de títulos de películas al español |url=https://www.latercera.com/mouse/traducciones-peliculas-malas-espana-latinoamerica/ |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=La Tercera}}</ref> Due to the variety of Spanish accents in Latin America, the dubbing for this region is made in [[Standard Spanish]], which avoids colloquialisms and whose pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical features are not recognizable as belonging to any particular Latin American country.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Macchi |first=Facundo |title=El mundo del doblaje |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/el-mundo-del-doblaje-201582500 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214195536/https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/el-mundo-del-doblaje-201582500 |archive-date=14 February 2024 |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=El Observador }}</ref> For this reason, it is made in different countries, mainly in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia, for the entire continent.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Notimex |date=2016-11-12 |title=México, país líder del arte del doblaje en América Latina |url=https://www.excelsior.com.mx/funcion/2016/11/12/1127851 |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=Excélsior |language=es-MX}}</ref> In addition, some films have been dubbed to the accent of a certain region of Spanish-speaking Latin America, such as the animated movie ''[[The Incredibles]],'' which in addition to being dubbed into [[European Spanish|European]] and [[Neutral Spanish|Standard Spanish]], was dubbed into the [[Rioplatense Spanish|Rioplatense]] and [[Mexican Spanish|Mexican]] varieties.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-10-11 |title=Rubén Rada y Juana Molina son las voces de Los Increíbles |url=https://www.infobae.com/2004/11/26/154113-ruben-rada-y-juana-molina-son-las-voces-los-increibles/ |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=infobae |language=es-ES}}</ref>

Another example is the French dubbing of ''The Simpsons'', which has two entirely different versions for [[Quebec]] and for [[France]]. The humor is very different for each audience (see [[Non-English versions of The Simpsons|Non-English versions of ''The Simpsons'']]). Audiences in Quebec are generally critical of France's dubbing of ''The Simpsons'', which they often do not find amusing.

[[Quebec French|Quebec-French]] dubbing of films is generally made in accent-free [[Standard French]], but may sound peculiar to audiences in France because of the persistence of some regionally-neutral expressions and because Quebec-French performers pronounce Anglo-Saxon names with an American accent, unlike French performers. Occasionally, budget restraints cause American [[direct-to-video]] films, such as the 1995 film ''When the Bullet Hits the Bone'', to be released in France with a Quebec-French dubbing, sometimes resulting in what some members of French audiences perceive as unintentional humor.

[[Portugal]] and [[Brazil]] also use different versions of dubbed films and series. Because dubbing has never been very popular in [[Portugal]], for decades, children's films were distributed using the higher-quality Brazilian dub (unlike children's TV series, which are traditionally dubbed in European Portuguese). Only in the 1990s did dubbing begin to gain popularity in Portugal. ''[[The Lion King]]'' became the first Disney feature film to be completely dubbed into [[European Portuguese]], and subsequently all major animation films gained European-Portuguese versions. In recent [[DVD]] releases, most Brazilian-Portuguese-dubbed classics were released with new European-Portuguese dubs, eliminating the predominance of Brazilian-Portuguese dubs in Portugal.

Similarly, in [[Flanders]], the [[Dutch language|Dutch]]-speaking region of [[Belgium]], cartoons are often dubbed locally by Flemish artists<ref>{{cite web |title=Page 34 - My FlipBook |url=http://psulibrary.palawan.edu.ph/wtbooks/resources/h5/9781280297304/files/basic-html/page34.html |website=psulibrary.palawan.edu.ph |access-date=15 April 2021 }}{{Dead link|date=December 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> rather than using soundtracks produced in the [[Netherlands]].

The [[list of territorial entities where German is an official language|German-speaking region]], which includes [[Germany]], [[Austria]], part of [[Switzerland]], and [[Liechtenstein]], share a common German-dubbed version of films and shows. Although there are some differences in the three major German varieties, all films, shows, and series are dubbed into a single [[Standard German]] version that avoids regional variations in the German-speaking audience. Most voice actors are primarily German or Austrian. Switzerland, which has four official languages (German, French, [[Italian language|Italian]], and [[Romansh language|Romansh]]), generally uses dubbed versions made in each respective country (except for Romansh). Liechtenstein uses German-dubbed versions only.

Sometimes, films are also dubbed into several [[German dialects]]{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} ([[Berlinerisch]], [[Colognian dialect|Kölsch]], [[Saxonian]], [[Austro-Bavarian language|Austro-Bavarian]] or [[Swiss German]]), especially animated films and Disney films. They are as an additional "special feature" to entice the audience into buying it. Popular animated films dubbed into German variety include ''[[Asterix]]'' films (in addition to its Standard German version, every film has a particular variety version), ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]'',{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} ''[[Shrek 2]]'',{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} ''[[Cars (film)|Cars]]'', (+ Austrian German){{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} and ''[[Up (2009 film)|Up]]''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ots.at/presseaussendung/OBS_20090810_OBS0008 |title=Österreich-Version von Disney/Pixars "Oben" mit Otto Schenk und Karlheinz Böhm - BILD |language=de |publisher=ots.at |date=10 August 2009 |access-date=30 November 2010}}</ref> (+ Austrian German).

Some live-action films or TV series have an additional German variety dubbing: ''[[Babe (film)|Babe]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Babe: Pig in the City]]'' (German German, Austrian German, Swiss German); and ''[[Rehearsal for Murder]]'', ''[[Framed (TV series)|Framed]]''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://215072.homepagemodules.de/topic-threaded.php?forum=11776730&threaded=1&id=506508&message=6643629 |title=Allgemeines " ORF-Synchronisationen - Wer weiß was? |publisher=215072.homepagemodules.de |access-date=30 November 2010}}</ref> (+ Austrian German); ''[[The Munsters]]'', ''[[Serpico]]'', ''[[Rumpole]]'' (+ Austrian German), and ''[[The Thorn Birds (miniseries)|The Thorn Birds]]''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://215072.homepagemodules.de/topic-threaded.php?forum=11776728&threaded=1&id=506269&message=7100872 |title=Serien " 24 |publisher=215072.homepagemodules.de |access-date=30 November 2010}}</ref>
(only Austrian German dubbing).

Before [[German reunification]], [[East Germany]] also made its own particular German version. For example, ''[[Olsen-banden|Olsen Gang]]'' and the [[Hungary|Hungarian]] animated series ''[[The Mézga Family]]'' were dubbed in [[West Germany]] as well as East Germany.

Usually, there are two dubbings produced in [[Serbo-Croatian language|Serbo-Croatian]]: [[Serbian language|Serbian]] and [[Croatian language|Croatian]]. Serbian for [[Serbia]], [[Montenegro]] and [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]; Croatian for [[Croatia]] and parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
