Accent Adaptation	comment	An Accent Adaptation is when a translator substitutes dialect in their own language for one in the original work's language, making for a Woolseyism in some cases and Adaptation Decay (or even an outright Macekre) in others, especially when the translated dialect doesn't have an equivalent in the original work. Sometimes, a third type is used where a Funny Foreigner character ends up speaking another language when the show is imported to their home country. If a joke or characterisation relies on National Stereotypes, the nationality will often be transferred to one with corresponding stereotypes in the target culture — e.g. what the English think of the Welsh, Australians think of New Zealanders, Germans think of the Swiss, French think of the Belgians, etc. Compare Dub Name Change and The Queen's Latin. Subtrope of Cultural Translation.

The character of Dennis, for his part, is given the very French inability to pronounce any English word correctly, producing an inaudible grumbling whenever he has to say "Lord Haversham" or "Inspector Carter".

Some games, (like Dragon Quest VIII) did an excellent job, using a range of British accents that equate very well with the Japanese accents they're replacing. Others (like Dragon Quest IV DS) are loaded with random accents ranging from merely grating to incomprehensible, apparently out of the belief that people just like funny accents. And still others (like Dragon Quest IX) are a mix of the two. Dragon Quest XI probably benefitted the most from this practice, as each region is a direct Fantasy Counterpart Culture with its own natural distinct accent.

Accent Adaptation / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: There are two French dubs, one in European French and one in Quebec French: In the European dub, most characters speak the standard Parisian accent, but black characters such as Carl (who has no accent in the original) speak with an inflected accent typical of a North African immigrant. Apu has a Portuguese accent. The Van Houtens are given stereotypical Belgian accents. Groundskeeper Willie's Violent Glaswegian becomes a Central French rural accent (the default for "peasant" characters). The Canadian dub is a bit more interesting, because it's not a particularly straight dub and adds local references to Canadian politicians and celebrities. The accents are used to draw a class divide — most characters have a Quebec accent, the blue-collar workers like Homer and Barney speak in a very strong "joual" drawl typical of working-class Montrealers, and the town elite (like Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy) speak in Parisian French, which would sound snobby and stuffy to Quebecois ears. Apu is given a creole dialect, Carl speaks with the accent of a black immigrant from Haiti and the episodes where the family goes to Toronto/London gives everyone Anglophone accents typical of Torontonians/Londoners who had to learn French in school and showed no interest in it. The accent also allows for a more comical resolution to Bart's attempt to communicate with a Parisian policeman for help who doesn't understand him — in the original English he realises that he can speak French thanks to exposure, in the European dub he accidentally words his plight in a way that sounds like he's just a homesick kid on a school trip and then realises he should tell him about how he's being abused and that his abusers are making wine with anti-freeze but in the Canadian dub, the cop doesn't understand Bart's accent and once Bart figures it out (after musing, "I thought they spoke French in France"), he speaks with a exaggerated Parisian accent. In the Dutch dub, similar to the French version, the Van Houtens speak with Belgian accents. The Mexican Spanish dub gives Apu a very thick Arabic accent. The Japanese dub gives Apu no local accent but a very polite register, to emphasize his role as a humble shopkeeper (it works so well for his frequent "thank you, come again!") In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Lenny speaks with a northeastern Brazilian accent. Cletus speaks with a Caipira accent to provide an equivalent for his thick Southern accent in the original. In the German dub, Uter, a stereotypical German exchange student in the original, becomes a Swiss exchange student with a thick Swiss-German accent. In the Italian dub, several secondary characters are dubbed with local accents from different Italian regions: Chief Wiggum and Lou from Naples, Carl from Venice, Reverend Lovejoy from Calabria, Snake Jailbird and Lionel Hutz from Rome, Otto Mann from Milan, Groundskeeper Willie from Sardinia, and Fat Tony — to no one's surprise — from Sicily. In the Swedish dub of The Movie, Cletus was given a southern Swedish accent, which is the standard "hillbilly" accent.

Yajirobe's nasal and obnoxious Nagoya-ben dialect is adapted as a sort of husky, thuggish, "smokes a pack a day" accent (think Dr. Girlfriend), to preserve the stereotype of an uncivilized mountain man who's actively hostile to human contact. Not only is the original Nagoya dialect highly associated with "the hill people" in Japanese, it was also Akira Toriyama's natural accent (so he was kind of making fun of himself as well). Ginyu Force member Jeice was given an Australian accent in the Funi dub which lead to Dragon Ball Z Abridged parodying it by saying he comes from "Space Australia".

Accent Adaptation / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter series: Hagrid's West Country accent is adapted into most languages into an equivalent accent to give the same "rustic" feel (for example, a Tohoku accent in the Japanese translation). The Italian translation didn't pick up on this and thought he was just uneducated, so his speech patterns in Italian are typical of the uneducated, particularly his total failure to use the conjunctive mood (a common sign of ignorance in Italian). In the Norwegian translation, Seamus Finnigan's Irish accent is translated to a rural Hedmark dialect (or at least what the translator thinks is a Hedmark dialect). In Bulgarian, Hagrid's accent is adapted into the softer (with more palatalization, making "e" sound like "ye" or "i" for example) Eastern accent which is seen as something of a Simpleton Voice. In the fourth book, Bulgarian characters such as Viktor Krum were introduced, but their lines were translated in reported speech with a comment on the accent - i. e. "I'm going to get some drinks" became "he said in his thick accent he was going to get some drinks". In the seventh book Viktor's lines were translated without any Funetik Aksent but with a choice of words that would betray lack of sophistication. There were also some common mistakes, for example instead of "in my country" Krum said "in my state" (state as in political entity), and the preposition "in" was translated as "Ð²ÑŠÐ²" instead of "Ð²", which should only be the case if the next word starts with Ð² or Ñ„. In the Yiddish translation, Filch, Snape, and McGonagall speak in Lithuanian Yiddish (though Filch's accent is thicker), while Hagrid speaks in a thick, almost exaggerated Polish Yiddish. Dumbledore uses many Hebrew and Aramaic words in his speech, evoking the feel of a wise old rabbi.

Accent Adaptation / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In the Polish translations, the Nac Mac Feegle speak like Gorals (literally "highlanders" — it works pretty well). In the French translation, they're given a Chtimi/Picard accent. In Norwegian, the Nac Mac Feegle speak New Norwegian, while the narration and the rest of the characters use Book Norwegian. In the Czech translation, they speak a dialect of their own - skewed heavily towards Moravian vocabulary, but with many grammatical suffixes from general colloquial Czech (because that fits better with the Nac Mac Feegles' disregard for rules and rowdy behaviour than Moravian suffixes, which tend towards standard literary or at worst quirky). In the French translation, Ephebians, who speak normal English in the original text, are given a strong accent from Marseille (which was originally a Greek colony). A somewhat less successful addition is Mrs. Gogol speaking with a heavy cajun accent (while she also spoke normal English in the original), which makes it sometimes necessary to read the sentence out loud to understand what she is saying. In the French translation of The Last Continent, the Australian Slang spoken by the inhabitants of XXXX is replaced by New Caledonia slang. The Czech translation dealt with vampire photographer Otto Chriek, who represents several different parts of Ãœberwald, with a Russian accent. The original English sought to use the typical Germanic/Slavonic "Vampire" aesthetic for the character, which wouldn't work in Czech — but by making him Russian-like, especially his Foreign Cuss Words, it invokes the popular Czech image that Russians are all foul-mouthed and there to bleed you dry.

Unexpectedly to non-Italians, the one actual Ferrari that appears speaks in a German accent — as a Casting Gag, as the voice actor is Michael Schumacher, a Formula One pilot who won most of his titles with the Ferrari team.

Accent Adaptation / int_853937a3	comment	My Fair Lady, being largely about "correcting" a horrifyingly crude accent and manner of speaking, naturally lends itself to this trope. The most commonly used German translation represents Eliza's Cockney with a Berlin dialect (same for German versions of Pygmalion) — except in Munich, where they have a particular variety of the local Bavarian dialect that works just as well. In Swedish, older productions rendered Cockney as a heavy working-class Stockholm accent, but more recent adaptations use the Gothenburg accent, partly because the former accent hardly exists anymore. Czech usually goes for a vaguely period lower-class Prague accent. But there's also a localised Brno version where Covent Garden was quite successfuly transformed into the ZelnÃ½ trh square in Brno (where there is also both a vegetable market and a theatre), and Eliza and other Cockney characters speak with the very distinct working class Brno dialect (which was in fact one of the closest things to Cockney in Czech). Interestingly, in both cases there are German loanwords - common in older lower-class Czech dialects.

The Funimation dub just gave everyone typical American accents, but during the Dressora Arc, local islanders Ricky, Viola, Rebecca, and the Thunder Soldier all get Latin American accents. The European Spanish dub tried to evoke the "Golden Age" of seafaring, the 16th-17th century, when Spain was a naval powerhouse and piracy was widespread. This also found its way into the accents, particularly that of Usopp, who was renamed "Usuff" and given an Arabian accent. It's oddly fitting — the dub director said Usopp reminded him of the Barbary pirates, who terrorised Spain in the Golden Age.

Averted with Whitney, who possibly has the thickest Kansai accent depicted in the series but is translated the same as everyone else in the English translation. Played straight in PokÃ©mon Masters, however, where she does speak in a Southern accent. Rika from PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet speaks in a Kansai dialect too. In English, it's rendered as a non-specific country accent, while in Italian it's an extremely thick Roman accent. Fantina from PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl has this apply to her between versions. In the original Japanese Version, she speaks in an American accent, while in the English translation, she speaks with an French accent, and in the French translation of the game, she speaks English once again, though it's not too clear what her accent is this time. The former two were preserved for her voiced lines in the anime and PokÃ©mon Masters. This was done by the developers to make Fantina seem like a foreigner no matter which version you played. The Battle Chatelaine sisters from X and Y (and later Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) slip into the Hakata dialect when excited. The English-language version translated this by having them slip into thick Irish accents. In PokÃ©mon Masters, Evelyn and Nita have American accents, but their written dialogue dips into Irish-esque, especially Nita's when referring to Dana and Morgan.

For example, England has a posh British accent to highlight being an English gentleman, France has "the most obnoxious French accent possible," and Germany is given a deep, growling, menacing accent. There were a few interesting stylistic choices regarding weird accents in the original Japanese; for instance, Poland's Nagoya accent is adapted into Valley Girl vernacular (which arguably fits the character much better, as the Nagoya accent is the stereotypical Japanese "hill people" accent), Sweden's heavy Tohoku accent is translated into a mumbled grunt speak, and Spain's Osaka dialect is usually not adapted at all. The exaggerated accents are entirely deliberate, as Todd Haberkorn, the voice actor for (Northern) Italy, has mentioned that he initially attempted a more "realistic" sounding Italian accent before being told to "just go full Super Mario."

Accent Adaptation / int_a8150af4	comment	The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has a multitude of accents from all over The British Isles are used with great effect throughout the series to enhance characterisation and establish social status: The high-ranking characters (particularly Elves such as Celebrimbor, Elrond and Galadriel) have RP (the Queen's English) accents, which lends them gravitas and enhances their authority. In a departure from the cinematic trilogies, where the Hobbits generally have West Country accents, the seriesâ€™ Harfoots are mostly voiced with Irish accents (this was a self-conscious shift, to emphasize how rough the nomadic Harfoots are living compared to their descendants millennia later). The more humble, rustic Men & Women encountered (Bronwyn, Rowan and the other inhabitants of Tirharad) mostly have northern English accents. The Dwarves (of course) deploy the by now prerequisite Scottish accent convention. As with most Middle-earth content, the Orcs here speak with Cockney accents. Of course, the entire series is employing a bit of a Translation Convention: the "Common Speech" (Westron) spoken in the movies at the end of the Third Age doesn't exist yet. The lingua franca of Numenor at the end of the Second Age was Adunaic, which only evolved into Westron over many centuries during the early Third Age - due to mixing with local languages and then some scholarly influence injecting it with a few Elvish-derived words again. There are Numenorean colonies along the coasts like Pelargir so it's possible the humans in the Southlands are speaking some local variant of Adunaic. Of course, this isn't even getting into the translation convention going on when the Elves or Dwarves are just with each other: in Lindon they're presumably speaking Quenya, just translated for the sake of the audience; at Khazad-dum the Dwarves presumably speak Khuzdul to each other (and probably Elvish to Elrond). The Harfoots, however, far to the east, can't possibly be speaking Adunaic: they're speaking in some ancient Hobbitish language, but depicted as rustic Irish-accented English for the viewers.

The English dub works in some more accurate and varied European accents, ranging from British to German to even Italian. Strangely averted in the English dub for Part 3, as Polnareff and Avdol speak with American accents rather than ones you'd expect people from their respective countries (France and Egypt) to speak with, though Polnareff does use a lot of Gratuitous French. Additionally, Joseph loses his British accent from the dub of Battle Tendency, despite Richard Epcar portraying Old!Joseph with one in the final scene of Part 2. Tonio Trussardi gets a heavy Italian accent in the English dub.

Accent Adaptation / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones occasionally had to do this with accents that were described but not shown in the original books: The books describe the Dornish accent as a lazy drawl "spiced with the flavors of the Rhoyne", which the show depicted with a Spanish accent, extending the Dornish country's similarity to Spain. The actor who played Oberyn Martell, the first major Dornish character, was the first to work out the accent, and everyone else tried to copy him. Oberyn's accent was criticized for being inauthentic, but the actor explained he actually based it on his father's own Chilean accent (and the actor himself is bilingual). Unfortunately, the Dorne subplot in Season 5 was so hastily thrown together (with many scenes written during filming, giving the actors no time to practice) that many characters' "Spanish" accents are so unrefined as to be truly distracting. The books vaguely mention in passing that Northmen have their own accent. The show renders this as a Northern English accent, even though many of the actors have to fake it. The wildlings are given the same Northern English accents, as both groups are descended from the First Men (being analogues of the Celtic peoples). A major reason Rose Leslie was cast as Ygritte is her having shown her ability to affect the accent on Downton Abbey. The books mention that each of the Seven Kingdoms has its own local accent. The show didn't attempt to portray this difference at all; while the books emphasize that the difference is subtle, it can be detected. For example, when Tyrion is traveling through the Free Cities in the fifth novel and fears that spies will specifically recognize his Westerlands accent; also people can recognize Samwell Tarly is from the southern Reach from his accent, but it's too subtle to distinguish how Tyrion and Samwell speak in live-action. Syrio Forel speaks with an accent that, according to the actor, is "a little Greek, a little Italian and a little Spanish, and then pushed East into Persia" (the actor is Greek, and the character was supposed to be from a Mediterranean Fantasy Counterpart Culture), but it sounds just Spanish to most American ears. In the European Spanish dub, he has an Arabic accent instead to preserve the impression that he is foreign to Westeros. Both characters who are identified as coming from Lorath are played by Germans, using their native accents. In Shae's case, this was Ascended Fanon on the actress's part, as the character was just supposed to be generically "foreign". Having Jaqen's actor use the same accent tied in nicely with the plot, as this allows Cersei to much later also peg Shae as being from Lorath because of the accent. In the case of speakers of the fictional languages Dothraki and Valyrian, the professional linguist who constructed the languages (David J. Peterson) also worked out what their accents would sound like if they spoke the Common Tongue (rendered in the show as English), making logical predictions of which English sounds these speakers would have trouble pronouncing. The prequel series House of the Dragon didn't really have to deal with accents in its first season, because it's focused on the royal court in King's Landing. Everyone at the Targaryen royal court speaks with the same RP accent seen in the original series: some fans speculated that they might have some sort of Valyrian accent 200 years before the main series, but linguist Peterson made a post on his blog explaining that because they've been living in the Dragonstone/King's Landing area for the past two centuries, if anything they speak English-accented High Valyrian (well, Common/Andal accented), and they probably sounded like this during Aegon's Conquest itself (which was a full century after the Doom of Valyria). There might have been more regional accents at the time of the Conquest itself, but 100 years after the Targaryen unification the accents in southern Westeros have pretty much smoothed together (that is, except for the North and Dorne). The one new accent House of the Dragon Season 1 introduced is the heavy accent of the former slave Mysaria, who was born in Yi Ti (Fantasy China) but doesn't remember it, was sold around between various different cities, but mostly grew up in Lys: apparently a Lysene accent sounds like an exaggerated French accent. This might be to contrast Lys, the southernmost Free City, with Lorath, the northernmost Free City, which was previously depicted with a German accent.

In the Hebrew dub, Edna Mode speaks with an Hungarian accent as opposed to the original's German/Japanese mishmash. Used very subtly in the Mexican Spanish dub; while most characters speak with neutral Mexican accents, you occasionally have regional slang thrown in, most commonly with Syndrome. Sometimes characters with only one or two lines will get a specific accent, for example the robber Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are both trying to catch (he calls her "la seÃ±o", a very informal Mexican way of saying "la seÃ±ora") and the cop who catches Bob and Lucius accidentally breaking into a jewelry store (he announces himself by shouting "POLECÃ�A!", with a pronounced Mexico City accent).

However, while Veronica has consistently been depicted with a heavy southern accent, Eliza wasn't fully decided on. The initial translator started out by giving her a heavy, almost impossible to understand Scottish accent, with the translation shown in side notes, then they dropped the accent, before finally deciding on a strong Scottish accent while still being mostly understandable. Meanwhile, when the manga got a new translator, they dropped the idea of giving Eliza an accent altogether.

Accent Adaptation / int_c43df4d8	comment	Comes up multiple times in Doctor Who, because the TARDIS passively grants a psychic translation to its passengers for whatever place and time they visit. In the episode where the Eleventh Doctor meets Vincent van Gogh, the translation matrix decides that Vincent's Dutch-accented French is best rendered as Scottish-accented English. Later, the Eleventh Doctor encounters the crew of a Soviet submarine in 1983, and the translation matrix represents their class distinctions with equivalent British accents (the officers talk in upper-class RP English, the enlisted sailors speak with Cockney accents, etc.). In the Ninth Doctor's first adventure with Rose Tyler, he explained that the translation matrix not only automatically renders all the alien languages they hear as English, but psychically influences their own brains to speak in the aliens' languages (depending on what's appropriate). That is, if they're in a room full of Martians, the Doctor and his companions will shift to speaking in Martin themselves, though we the audience hear it as English because we hear it from the TARDIS crew's perspective. This effect is in-universe, as Rose points out she doesn't even realize she's speaking in alien languages. When the Tenth Doctor visited Pompeii in 79 AD, he explained to his new companion Donna Noble how the translation matrix works: they not only hear Latin-speaking Romans as speaking English, but are themselves speaking in Latin. Donna then asks what happens if you intentionally try to speak in Latin instead - and the Doctor is a little surprised, explaining that in all his centuries of time-travelling he never tested that because it was just easier to rely on the auto-translation. Donna then experiments with this by walking up to Romans and repeating classic Latin phrases - which the TARDIS translates to the Romans as Celtic (ancient Welsh).

Accent Adaptation / int_c511c682	comment	Asterix: The English translation, done by Brits, generally avoids this but does do it occasionally, most notably giving two "rural Egyptians" and Bucolix the village farmer exaggerated Somerset accents, associated in Britain with farmers. It also gives a Briton named McAnix (MacAnoterapix in the original version) a Scottish accent, while he did not speak differently from the other Britons in the original French. In Asterix and Cleopatra, the original French gives the Egyptian workers from the Southern Kingdom Languedocois accents from the far southwest of France; this is adapted into English as a "West Country" accent, which has the same stereotype. The Italian dubs of the animated adaptation tend to give accents to the non-Gaul characters, in particular having the Romans speak in the distinctive Roman dialent (minus the cussing). The Norwegian translation of Asterix in Belgium gives the Belgians a broad rural dialect from the "flatbygdene" area north of Oslo, designed to give a rustic feel. The Scots translation of Asterix in Britain attempts to represent the Britons' speech patterns as a kind of "Anglified Scots", in the same way as the original used "Anglified French". Because Scots and English are so closely related, however, the overall effect is closer to the posh end of Edinburgh.

Similar to Lotta, the Kansai accent of Furio Tigre in the original Japanese was translated into a thick Brooklyn accent. One British character in The Great Ace Attorney is given a very slangy Osaka-specific accent in the Japanese; recursively, he's made Irish in the English version. This also has something to do with the regional stereotyping in both cases — he's a Nouveau Riche type with a dark background and obsessed with money.

Accent Adaptation / int_ef7b3325	comment	The Swedish translation of Fantastic Four comics makes Ben Grimm's New York working class accent (when he has one) into a Stockholmer working class accent (or what the translators think is one, at least). It doesn't have quite the same effect, as working-class or not, this is still the Swedish equivalent of a British accent.

Accent Adaptation / int_f1da64b5	comment	The Lord of the Rings trilogy dub: Legolas sounds Estonian, invoking the idea that he looks almost Finnish. Gimli sounds Georgian, invoking the Georgian Proud Warrior Race Guy stereotype and Georgia being a mostly mountainous country. The Witch-King sounds German, invoking Nazism. Gothmog speaks in a mix of Russian and Ukrainian, a parody on the former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko. Gollum's two personalities have different accents: Russian and Ukrainian. Treebeard speaks with a Belarusian accent with the speech patterns of the country's president Aleksandr Lukashenko. The orcs and the Uruk-Hai speak "fenya", the criminal language, with much of their speech bleeped out due to excessive swearing.

Accent Adaptation / int_f8705c18	comment	Hellsing: Alexander Anderson is given a Scottish accent, which is also the natural accent of his English voice actor Steven Brand. They apparently thought of giving him a sort of "classy British" accent, but Crispin Freeman couldn't do one sufficiently menacing to fit the character (whereas a Scottish one just kind of exudes toughness). note It also simply makes sense for the chracter to be Scottish. There have been multiple real-life prominent Scotsmen named Alexander Anderson, and Catholicism is more widely practiced in Scotland than in England. Freeman begged the director to let him try a classic Transylvanian accent, but the director rejected it as too corny.

The show renders this as a Northern English accent, even though many of the actors have to fake it. The wildlings are given the same Northern English accents, as both groups are descended from the First Men (being analogues of the Celtic peoples). A major reason Rose Leslie was cast as Ygritte is her having shown her ability to affect the accent on Downton Abbey.

Accent Adaptation / int_ff8dd2b2	comment	The Wheel of Time (2021): The Seanchan Empire, introduced in Season 2, is an empire that dominates the large western continent across the sea, founded by essentially conquistadors from the Westlands who left centuries before and lost contact with their motherland. Culturally, they're a vast slave-holding empire with a mish-mash of influences from Meso-America and Imperial China. The novels describe them as having a distinctive "drawl", and author Robert Jordan outright said it's supposed to sound like a Texan accent. The TV series does have them speak with American accents - general American accents but not really Texan or even Southern ones. Apparently the producers told the Seanchan actors to use whatever "American" accent they're most comfortable with from the wide range of "American" accents - given that Seanchan is indeed an entire continent and probably has some regional variation; however they don't film in the USA and thus most actors playing Seanchan characters aren't using their natural accents - therefore most of them only had experience performing a "general American" accent and not a Texan/Southern one. This caused some mild disappointment from fans of the novels but many still felt it conveyed the jarring contrast between Seanchan's accent and the RP British English accent characters from the Westlands speak with. The Aiel of course have a "generic desert nomad" accent - their culture is a mish mash of Bedouin with all sorts of other stuff.
