What Causes Cultural Misunderstandings in Dubbing?
Have you ever watched a cartoon or movie in another language and laughed at a joke that… didn’t really make sense? Or maybe a character said something that sounded strange or even a little rude, but in the original version, it was normal. That’s the tricky world of dubbing, where words travel across languages, but sometimes meaning gets lost along the way. Even the tiniest difference in culture can turn a funny line into confusion, or a simple greeting into something awkward.
