Tu as fait tout ce chemin juste pour me dire ça ?
Alors reste dîner.
The original film, carried into French.
In French, tu and vous say who these people are to each other. Spelo sets the form of address for each pair of characters before the dub, and your team can change any line where the relationship shifts.

Regenerate this lineFrench dubbing, shaped for your audience
French audiences watch a great deal of dubbed film and television, and they expect it done well.
Tu or vous
The form of address carries the relationship, and a switch from vous to tu can be a turning point.
Spelo: Each pair of characters gets tu or vous before the first line is written.
Longer lines
French often takes more words than English to say the same thing in the same time.
Spelo: Lines are placed at the original timing, and speed can be adjusted line by line.
France or Québec
European and Canadian French differ in accent and vocabulary.
Spelo: Tell us whether the dub is for France, Belgium, Switzerland or Québec. Wording and voices follow.
Wordplay
Jokes and puns need a French equivalent, not a literal translation.
Spelo: Jokes and idioms are rewritten to land in French.
