Sallish dubbing

**Dubbing in the Sallish language** has existed since the 1970s but did not boom in usage until 1997. While the most common and preferred method of dubbing in Salliland is lip-sync dubbing (*sinkrónacja*; plural *sinkrónacju*), voiceovers (*lektornè*; plural *lektornu*) has historically been ubiquitous for various media and continues to be used for interviews and live programming. The style of voice-over dubs varies, with some media being dubbed with one or two narrators speaking the scripts monotonously, with others being dubbed with several voices matching the intonation of the original.

Generally, all media targeted at children is dubbed as well as animated media targeted at adults, while live-action media targeted at adults is subtitled. Songs are often not dubbed, as the syntax of the Sallish language with the majority of sentences ending in a form of "rav" and the larger amount of syllables in words makes the language harder to work with when translating songs. The majority of Sallish dubs of anime are produced from English dubs, particularly Kuboian adaptations, or from Italian dubs due to lower Japanese proficiency.

## History

The majority of media was released in Italian or English during the period in which Salliland was part of Gicama. In 1975, the first Sallish dub was released, which was a voiceover entitled *Kiki Vúbezracvjóknu* of the German dub of the Swedish-West German live-action series *Pippi Långstrump* (1969). It was broadcast on Sjajòqimsja Programa daily and became a cult classic.

Due to the series' popularity, further media began to be dubbed into Sallish, with many children's series and films receiving voiceover dubs, which were released on television or through VHS tapes. The majority of these were unlicensed and done over Italian dubs of the media, as the translators could often only understand Sallish and Italian. Although the voiceover of *Pippi Långstrump* was done by several voices matching the intonation of the original, many voiceovers were dubbed by simply one or two narrators speaking the scripts monotonously, due to low budget and rushed production.

The first Sallish dub of an anime was *Kendi Kendi*, a voiceover of the Latin American Spanish dub of *Candy Candy*, which premiered on STV2 on 16 December 1984. This dub became a cult classic, and continued airing until 2011 on various channels when it was pulled for copyright infringement as the series was not meant to be distributed after a dispute over rights of ownership between its creators.

With the independence of Salliland in 1997, Saću Studijo (now Make It Loud Studio) the first dubbing studio to make lip-sync dubs of media in Sallish was founded. However, the majority of media that had previously been dubbed through voiceover continued to be dubbed in that way. With the launch of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network in Salliland, the amount of voiceover dubs of programming decreased in favour of lip-sync dubbing, and many programs that had previously been dubbed through voiceover received lip-sync dubs, much of which retained the same scripts and sometimes voice actors as the existing voiceovers. The most famous Sallish voiceover dub in recent years is *Súmalù grát*, the dub of *LazyTown* seasons 1 and 2, which aired from 2008 to 2010.

Adult-targeted TV series were exclusively released in Italian, with the first to receive a Sallish dub being *The Simpsons*, which premiered on 12 April 1998 entitled *Sìmpsonu*, alongside a move of the series from STV2, where it aired in Italian, to PBV2 where it was dubbed.

## Disney

The majority of Disney films and TV series received unlicensed voice-over translations that were released through television or VHS until 1997, when Disney began commissioning Saću Studijo to produce lip-sync dubs of their films and TV series. The films were released through VHS and later DVD, while the TV series aired on the Dìzniklub programming block of PBV2. Initially, only animation was dubbed, with live-action films and series being released in subtitled English or unsubtitled Italian. Songs were almost always left fully untranslated in the dubs, except for if they were essential to understanding the plot, in which case they would be dubbed.

With the launch of Disney Channel Salliland in 2003, Make It Loud Studio began to dub more Disney productions, with all programming on the channel (including acquired programming) being dubbed by 2005. Several series with lip-sync dubs also received redubs in 2006-2007, such as *Pepper Ann*. From 2010 onwards, Disney began to dub films into Sallish themselves, starting with *Tangled* and working backwards. Many of the redubs only dubbed musical numbers into Sallish that the dubs by Make It Loud Studio had left in English. While Disney dubs films themselves, they continue to outsource dubbing for TV series to Make It Loud Studio.
