The Translation of Films: Sub-Titling versus Dubbing

Voge, Hans

Babel: International Journal of Translation, 22, 3, 120-5, 77

A study of film translation. Well-documented opinions are given on the advantages and disadvantages of both dubbing and sub-titling. One of the tentative conclusions is that sub-titling is to be preferred because it preserves the original dialogue and allows the audience verying degrees of comprehension. A bibliography is provided. (AMH)
