Added nfo about dubbing in Europe
Dubbing is usually serious, though it can have intended or unintended comic effects, such as in [[Hong Kong]] action movies (cf. [[Jackie Chan]]). Dubbing can also be used for [[parody]], replacing the actual spoken words with other ones.

==Dubbing in Europe==
In some [[Europe|European]] countries, such as [[Spain]], [[France]], [[Germany]], and [[Italy]], foreign films are always dubbed into the local language, except for some theaters in large cities where original-language films with subtitles are shown. By contrast, other countries, like the [[Netherlands]], [[Potugal]], and [[Greece]], subtitling is always used, except for children's movies, usually cartoons.
In [[Poland]] and [[Russia]], a dubbing technique called the "voice-over translation" is used for foreign films on television. In this technique, the original language soundtrack of the film is unchanged, but the translated script is read by a single male voiceover artist, or lector. He reads all the lines for all the parts, even for female characters. The majority of Poles prefer the lector technique over subtitling, which is used in theaters. Traditional dubbing, with a full cast, is used only for children's cartoons.
