I mean, most of the time the people at the dubbing studios are doing an incredible job.

Sometimes however, they just don`t nail it.

When TNG came onto DVD, they added some nice little scenes to episodes for example the Pilot “Encounter at Farpoint”. In every secene, Picard has a new dubbing voice. All other actors, like Gates McFadden or Denise Crosby have got their usual dubbing voice, but not Patrick Stewart. And he has got 2 different dubbing voices in TNG which sound very much a like so you wouldn`t notice.

As for the movies. Its worse. In ALL 5 Star Trek Series dubbed for German Market, they translated “starfleet” by “Sternenflotte” which is the right translation. BUT: in all 10 Movies they used the phrase “Raumflotte” which means “Spacefleet”. That`s stupid!

Also did Jonathan Frakes get another dubbing voice in the Movies 8-10; on of the speakers for Robert Duncan McNeil, by the way.

I`m just curious what they will call Bones in the new Movie in Germany. The voice-actor for Scotty back then in the 70`s suggested to call him “Pille” = “Pill” instead of “Knochen” = “Bones”. But since we also call the character of this forensic-Show “BONES” by her english name, I think it might be possible that Karl Urban is also called “Bones” in the German dubbed STAR TREK Movie.

We`ll see, ah, I mean we`ll hear. Lol.

Yes, there are rumors, but if I’m rational I don’t really understand why this should make sense, since you already have your convetions, Las Vegas and other genres of Trek-Meetings-with-Actors in U.S.

I really don’t see why our Fed-Con should take place in U.S. But I’m not involved in the Organisations Team, only a customer and fan.

They are not always the subtl, I’m afraid.
Than I think you will know what we did to “Amok Time” :)

Thanks. Yes I’ve seen that. I’ve had a German friend of mine explain some of the subtle differences.

In case you clear one away, please take the sencond without the mistake ;)
