In Germany and neighboring countries, movies are dubbed.
Like they have their own dub in Austria and Switzerland...? *MUAHAHAHAHA*
That being said, subs are preferred in Switzerland. Not necessarily in kids' films - for obvious reasons - but generally (with exceptions), yeah.
So, uh, no dubs for us. (Thank GOD!)
If an actor is internationally recognized, one person dubs all their roles for consistency.
Not always, of course. But unlike in other countries, they actually try (and succeed, a lot of the times). For example, they're in trouble, now, because the voice actor of Eddie Murphy died... (Can you imagine Eddie Murphy with a different German voice? Yep. Knew you couldn't ^_~)
While most Europeans (except Germans and the French, who still insist their languages are world-dominant) speak and understand English to a certain extent...
Well, the Swiss have no choice but speak several languages... With us having four of them in our own country ^-^'''' And while English isn't one of them, it's still the easiest to learn. Which leads to funny meetings between Swiss German and Swiss French people. Since at times, neither really speaks the language of the other all that well, they use English ^_~ (And, again... The French parts of Switzerland - while bound to learn German in school - don't really bother... I speak moderate French, at least.)
