Dubbing配音
Dubbing is the process of replacing a production's original voice track with newly recorded dialogue in another language, matched to the on-screen action, timing, and mouth movements of the original performance. In localization, it requires a translated script, voice casting, recording direction, and audio post-production, and is common in film, animation, and games where audiences expect spoken performance rather than subtitles.

Where this term appears
Dubbing occurs in audiovisual localization for broadcast, streaming, animation, film, and game cutscenes. Translation teams first prepare a dub script that includes lip-sync cues, character notes, and timing references; then voice talents record in studio sessions while directors and language reviewers check delivery, terminology consistency, and synchronization against the original picture.
Translation checks
A frequent mistake is translating the dub script like a subtitle file, without adjusting line length to the actor's on-screen speaking time. If the translated line is too long or too short, the actor must compress or stretch delivery, creating unnatural speech and visible lip-sync mismatches; this often forces script rewrites or costly studio retakes.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
