In some countries the animated show The Simpsons is dubbed. This is a list over the voice cast of the different languages. Simpsons redirects here. ...

French

The Simpsons has been dubbed into the French language twice, once in the Canadian province of Quebec and again in France. In both versions, the show is named Les Simpson, as last names are not pluralized in French. French (français, langue française) is one of the most important Romance languages, outnumbered in speakers only by Spanish and Portuguese. ...

It is one of only a handful of American television shows that have wholly separate versions in Quebec and France, and a number of studies have been made comparing them. In France all the characters speak standard French, with the exception of the ethnic minorities: Apu is given the Arabic accent common to French shop keepers while Carl, who has no accent in the American version, also speaks inflected French. In the Quebec version only the town elite, such as Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy, speak International French. The Simpson family and most of the townsfolk speak with strong Québécois accents (making them sometimes difficult to understand even for metropolitan French speakers). In the Quebec version the ethnic minorities also have accents. Apu speaks in a creole while Carl has the accent of a Black immigrant from Africa or the Caribbean.[citation needed] APU may refer to: Anglia Polytechnic University, now known as Anglia Ruskin University. ... Arabic can mean: From or related to Arabia From or related to the Arabs The Arabic language; see also Arabic grammar The Arabic alphabet, used for expressing the languages of Arabic, Persian, Malay ( Jawi), Kurdish, Panjabi, Pashto, Sindhi and Urdu, among others. ... Carl Carlson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons. ... In the television series The Simpsons, the Springfield Elementary School is the school which Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson and their fellow students attend. ...

Local idioms are occasionally adopted in favor of direct translation. American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references. For instance, a reference to Newt Gingrich in Quebec is generally replaced with one to Mike Harris. Most of the recurring characters keep their English names in each French version. Two exceptions are Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Mel, who are known as Tahiti Bob and Tahiti Mel in France, as the word sideshow has no direct translation. In Quebec, the title sideshow is kept as an Anglicism. Another exception is made for Simpsons family's dog, Santa's Little Helper, who is called "Le p'tit renne au nez rouge" (Little Red-Nosed Reindeer) in the Quebecois version and "Petit Papa Noël" (Little Santa) in the French.

The episodes are dubbed by a team of voice actors, similar to the one that does the original. The team does about two episodes per day. In general these voice actors also do the characters who were voiced by celebrities in the American version. In the French version, on occasion, official dubbers are brought in. For instance for the episode where Mulder and Scully from the X-Files appear the voice actors who do their voices on the French version of the X-Files guest starred. Fox Mulder Fox Spooky Mulder (b. ... Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully (born February 23, 1964) is a fictional character on the FOX television series The X-Files, played by Gillian Anderson. ... X-Files intro from first 8 seasons The X-Files was a popular 1990s American science fiction television series created by Chris Carter. ...


The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English in the French versions. One important exception is the blackboard joke at the beginning of each episode. The Quebec and France versions share these French language blackboard scenes.

German

The Simpsons has been dubbed into one single German language. The show is named Die Simpsons and the episodes appear uncut and dubbed, with written or sung English subtitled in German. Homer's alveolar catch phrase "D'oh!" has been translated to "Nein!" (meaning "No!") rather than leaving it as the meaningless interjection that is his annoyed grunt. Nearly all of the characters carry their American names; there are only just a few characters which are translated, especially animals. For example Reverend Lovejoy is still Reverend Lovejoy. Lovejoy's name seems to be the single one ever (partially) translated into German for some episodes ("Reverend Gottlieb"). Gottlieb is a real German first name - albeit outdated - meaning "to love God". German (called Deutsch in German; in German the term germanisch is equivalent to English Germanic), is a member of the western group of Germanic languages and is one of the worlds major languages. ... The voiced alveolar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. ... A catch phrase is a phrase or expression that is popularized, usually through repeated use, by a real person or fictional character. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Translated characters:

In prior episodes solely translated as Tingeltangel Bob, afterwards taken over the original.
Reverend Gottlieb was used just a very few times, afterwards generally the original.
In the German version always a stereotypical Swiss, because of the contrast.

Spanish

The Simpsons is also being dubbed into the Spanish language twice, once in Latin America and again in Spain. Between the two versions are many differences. In Latin America Homer is translated as Homero, but in Spain it isn't translated. Other translations in Latin America but in Spain is not translated are: Barney Gumble as Barney Gómez, Chief Wiggum as Jefe Gorgory, Ralph Wiggum as Ralf/Rafa Gorgory, Reverend Lovejoy as Reverendo Alegría, Sideshow Bob as Bob Patiño and Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby as Alcalde Diamante.

The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English in the Spanish versions. In the blackboard scene, we hear Bart reading the phrase translated. After the introduction, in the Latin American version we hear the name of the episode, while this does not happen in the Spanish version. The region 1 DVDs include the Latin American audio


Latin American Version

The Latin American Version is dubbed in Mexico by Grabaciones y Doblajes. A rumor has stated that Matt Groening himself chose the voices for the Latin American version, though this is contradicted by Groening himself in the DVD commentary for season 3's Like Father, Like Clown, where it's revealed that writer Wallace Wolodarsky went to several countries, including Mexico and Germany, to cast the foreign versions. The most memorable cast dubbed from seasons 1 through 9 and was: Matthew Abram Groening (born February 15, 1954[2] in Portland, Oregon;[3] his family name is pronounced ) is an Emmy Award-winning American cartoonist and the creator of The Simpsons,[4] Futurama and the weekly comic strip Life in Hell. ... Wallace Wolodarsky was a writer for the Simpsons during the first four seasons, all of his episodes were co-written with former writing partner Jay Kogen. ...

  • Homer: Humberto Vélez
  • Marge: Nancy McKensie
  • Bart: Marina Huerta
  • Lisa: Patricia Acevedo
  • Mr. Burns: Gabriel Chávez

During season 9, Huerta quit playing Bart for not being well paid by the company, and was replaced by Claudia Mota. Before season 16, the main cast had a legal issue with Grabaciones y Doblajes because it wanted the actors to be in the National Actors Association of Mexico, and they were not, so in response, the whole cast was fired. Beginning at season 16, they were replaced by new actors, and curiously, Huerta returned to do both Bart's and Marge's voice.


Spanish Version

The principal cast is the following:[1]

  • Homer Simpson: Carlos Revilla (until the 11th season when was replaced by Carlos Ysbert due to his death)
  • Marge Simpson: Amparo Soto (replaced at 4th season by Begoña Hernando due to voice problems with his character; in the 6th season Hernando was replaced by Margarita de Francia due to the same problem)
  • Lisa Simpson: Isacha Mengíbar
  • Bart Simpson: Sara Vivas

Many fans of the series and the rest of the Spanish cast were very sad after the death of Carlos Revilla due to his excellent work,[2][3][4] and Antena 3 had to find a substitute for Revilla's voice (as opposed to Dan Castellaneta's).[5] Homer Jay Simpson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. ...

Carlos Revilla also dubbed the appearance of KITT in the episode The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace, like he did in Knight Rider. There are other characters that conserve their frequent voice in Spain: like Mulder and Scully from the X-Files, or Sideshow Bob and his brother Cecil.
