message: id like to note that on the latin american version which we see for example here in ecuador sometimes the translators use mexican slang which sounds strange to the rest of latin america.  for example they make Bart say "orale" which is very mexican. orale is a mexican expresion for surprise. since soft mexican accent is close to quito accent in ecuador it sounds not too crazy at times but to something like venezuelans or argentinians it will be strange. there was one episode though when they have bart fantazising or dreaming about dancing tango, they make the woman thats dancing with him to have an argentinian accent and so she says "hajta luego pibe bart". "pibe" is a common word in argentina for "boy". almost everyone in latin american will be amused by this detail which will be obviously not present in the english version since when characters speak spanish they all sound the same and so tehres no distinction of the varieties of latin american accents. theres the episode in which homer is listening to a cassete when he sleeps thats supposedly is going to make him stop eating compulsively and is actually a tape of improving your grammar and vocabulary. its funny that homero starts talking with a think spanish accent (the way they speak spanish in spain) while he says all those difficult sophisticated words. also when they are taking care of ms burns mansion while hes on medical exams, homer pretends to be rich, high class and cultivated when answering marge. marge asks "i know the use of these 11 spons but of this long 12 one i dont know" homero responds in a thick spanish accent something like "eso es para que te rasqueis el trasero" or in english " thats for you to scratch your ass". 
about the version in spain i have only seen one episode. i noted that when they are in the episode where homer and mr burns go to cuba, they have fidel castro and his assitants and ministers speak in a cuban accent or a pretension of a cuban accent. they say things like "que vamo a ser chico". this is funny in latin american and in the english version this cant happen. in the english version ive noticed that in this episode when they have the cuban people speak, they sound nothing like cubans, they sound kind of like mexicans. example: when a boy is selling some meat in a stick to one of the simpsons he says "es carne de burro" or in english is donkeys meat. they should have made him sound like a cuban and would have sounded. "ej carne de burro" adn to make him humorous and stereotypical maybe something like "ej cane de burro chico".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.154.122.197 (talk) 07:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone tell me which network or networks air/have aired The Simpsons in mainland China? The article doesn't say and I'm not convinced it ever has aired in that territory, regardless of what E! and the Washington Post seem to think. 122.4.116.250 (talk) 17:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "Va te faire shampouiner" means not "go to hell" but "why don't you go receive a shampoo wash [by someone else]&" Twipley (talk) 20:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's adaptation of the original version. French adapters translated "Go to hell" to "Va te faire shampouiner" in France. We're not talking about word-by-word translations. Jimmy Lavoie × Vive le Québec! talk 20:54, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  french catchphrases 

message: In most cases, the author of the German dialog simply is not familiar with certain aspects of American pop culture or the meaning of phrases. This has gone so far as to pieces of dialog only making sense when the viewer translates them back to English in his head.
Well sometimes it's bad, but i never ever translated back a phrase into English, and i believe i get the most of the jokes. Only very subjective, but i think some examples should be mentioned. --80.144.102.49 (talk) 16:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is the case with most translation, because the Simpsons heavily satirizes American pop culture, which is not known in other countries. The subtitles in Denmark are crap as well. Here they first translate from English to Swedish and then from Swedish to Danish. In any case, you can't really write anything about it in this article unless you have a reliable source. --Maitch (talk) 17:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  poor German translation 

message: I search in all interview of Matt groening especially about the french language, he never said that canadian french translation of the simpsons is the best of all, moreover I doubt that he would appreciate all the mistakes and change in the canadian adaptation. I'll delete each time that a people from quebec who will say that the french canadian is best of the world, and I'mm have a big argument with him about this and he'll see why the french canadian translation is the worst of all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.165.54.183 (talk) 20:18, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I keep deleting spam about The Simpsons Being dubbed and edited in Ireland and it keeps getting reverted. How on earth can you not see it's spam!? --109.78.230.113 (talk) 00:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if I'd call it spam, but indeed there is a pattern of hoaxing that's been going on since at least 2012. Each time the vandal uses some variation of the same material as the time before, and changing only the country and the named networks. Examples... Irish in December 2012, then Wales in August 2013. If this content reappears please remove it without question. Thanks for noticing the error and taking action. — MusikAnimal talk 21:28, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
