dub

To dub a film is to replace the original speech with another language. New voices, the same lips, never quite matching.

Dubbing is an industry of its own wherever subtitles are not the habit, and a dubbed version is what much of Europe grew up watching. The word has two other lives that catch people out. To dub somebody is to give them a nickname, which journalism does constantly. And to dub a knight is to make one, by touching each shoulder with a sword, which is the oldest sense of the three.
