Comment on When characters in a cartoon start speaking a different language do they get someone else to do the line or does the voice actor learn the line on their own?

If you’ve ever watched anime without dubs where they have to speak English a lot, you’d know lol. Generally IIRC they just have to sound believable enough.

Non animated example: Stargate SG1 did this once and the spoken dialogue was an inside joke., Reportedly, their Russian was terrible since they just used English-speaking extras - not that most English speakers would know. Basically just a couple of Russian soldiers on duty heard a noise, ones asks “what was that?” And the other answers something like “probably just the monster from the end of last season.” Then the subtitles have the correct dialogue.
