Cut-and-Paste Translation	comment	This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Sometimes when works are translated elsewhere, major changes are made to it, from changing the scripts to editing the footage. The usual reason is to make it more accessible to the audience for the localization, but other reasons include avoiding Values Dissonance, avoiding the ire of local Moral Guardians, editing to fit in commercial breaks, or otherwise trying to make a series longer or shorter than it was originally to match local syndication packages.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_11e6bf74	comment	Sega of America delayed the U.S. release of Sonic the Hedgehog CD by several months for the purpose of replacing 75% of the soundtrack, most likely due to sampling issues, as the Japanese soundtrack used a lot of 'em. Even Spencer Nielsen, the composer working on behalf of Sega of America, sympathized with the purists. They also renamed Amy Rose "Princess Sally", in a weak attempt to cater to the ABC cartoon's fanbase, in spite of the fact that Amy is a pink hedgehog and Sally is a redhead squirrel.

It only became a Cut-and-Paste Translation when Cookie Jar Entertainment, the company who made it, was bought out by WildBrain. WildBrain's releases of the series cut out certain scenes, rearrange scenes that did make the cut, added a narrator, and replaced the outro with a Wrap-Up Song. Needless to say, fans were not pleased with these changes.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_14effc04	comment	The Ultraman Tiga dub by 4Kids Entertainment had even more comedic dialogue that mocked the original material, made the series more kid-friendly to Westerners, derailed characters like the level-headed Captain Iruma into idiots, and renamed many other things. Fans think it's either So Bad, It's Good or irredeemably awful, and only 25 out of 52 episodes were aired due to negative reception (and Out of Order to boot). According to Erica Schroeder (who dubbed Rena), this was because 4Kids couldn't decide whether to mock the show or to make it serious.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	Digimon has a number of Dub Induced Plot Holes across the individual shows, mostly concerned with characters mentioning siblings and pets they didn't have, and they produced them so close to the original that it was hard to predict whether any lines would cause continuity errors later on. Beyond that, they mostly just changed names (although some were Westernized, and others were changed to different Japanese names). Fan Dumb was not impressed. The worst from the series would be the second season of Digimon Adventure, where Executive Meddling resulted in a lot of forced humor, most of it at Davis' expense, to the point that it made Davis look like a complete dumbass. The second season's Non-Serial Movie, Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!/The Golden Digimentals, was also combined with two short anime movies about the kids from the first season, with a lot of reworking having to be done to cram the continuities together.

Its sequel Team Fortress 2 kept the class models but replaced the blood with oil and is permanently set to "Silly Gibs" mode, which turns the explosions of limbs and organs into explosions of various inanimate objects. The Meet the Team shorts are also censored (e.g. in Meet the Soldier, the Soldier's collection of heads has metal springs instead of neckbones and bleeds oil). Notably, Valve stopped censoring later additional content, but didn't uncensor what was already censored.

In-game, it is still referred to as "Newtrogic High Zone" in all versions, and there's no time limit.

This combined series was produced and released in the United States by Saban. They accomplished this by having each series' protagonist be a Parallel Universe version of the same character. It was voiced by the same crew who did Robotech.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_28508de	comment	There are a couple of versions of the Italian Winx Club, which are well-received but change a lot. Interestingly, its original Italian broadcaster Rai has its own English translation that's very faithful and meant to be used as a sort of blueprint: 4Kids dubbed the first three seasons and cut and rearranged many scenes, changed the music, punched up the scripts, and renamed some characters and terms (e.g. Bloom's home planet "Domino" became "Sparks", the "Trix" became the "Witches"). Nonetheless, it was a successful show (the most successful English version overall) and is sometimes considered an improvement over the Italian version. When Nickelodeon got the rights to the show, they produced four hour-long TV specials that summarized the first two seasons. It was more of a Shot-for-Shot Remake than a translation, and many shots had replaced character designs. Their dub of Seasons 3 and 4 and the first movie was relatively faithful, and they co-produced Seasons 5 and 6 anyway. Their dub of the second movie, however, cut over 20 minutes.

Saban Entertainment wrote an entirely original script for it, matching the dialogue to the Mouth Flaps and whatever was happening on screen. The result was a Gag Dub that even the Japanese creators preferred. How it came about this way isn't certain; the most common story is that the English dubbers didn't have a script and had to improvise with the footage, but Robert Axelrod, who was one of the writers, claims that they totally did have scripts, but in Engrish.

Unfortunately for that, their relationship is heavily intertwined with the main story of the game, resulting in several plot points being misconstrued and resulting in many a Dub-Induced Plot Hole. Some other big changes were made, such as Bhunivelze being voiced by a different actor instead of Hope's VA. Fans consider the translation so bad, some have rallied to completely retranslate the game.

The last two Booster sets from the original series were mixed around for their western release compared to the original Japanese edition, becoming the "Ver.E" Booster Sets: The "Ver.E" release of the sixteenth Booster Set Legion of Dragons and Swords features the Royal Paladin, Narukami and Spike Brothers units from the original BT-16, the Royal Paladin, Gold Paladin, Narukami and Aqua Force units from the original BT-17, the Royal Paladin, Gold Paladin and part of the Link Joker units from the booster set based around the Neon Messiah movie and the entire content of the Narukami and Link Joker trial decks based on the Brawler and Deletor subclans, while the "Ver.E" release of the seventeenth Booster Set, Blazing Perdition, features the Kagero, Tachikaze, Link Joker and Granblue units from the original BT-17, the Nova Grappler, Dimension Police and Neo Nectar units from the original BT-16 and the Kagero and the remaining Link Joker units from the Neon Messiah set.

The album had previously been the subject of confusion in the UK for the fact that neither of those two tracks were on it (with the closest album cut to "Blue Monday" being "5 8 6", which was based off the same base sequencer jam), to the point where Factory Records had to start including shrinkwrap stickers reading "DOES NOT CONTAIN 'BLUE MONDAY'." The addition of the two tracks on American CD and cassette copies, therefore, amended the issue in advance for consumers over there.

The original Japanese script is set in 2015 and cast the player as a Japanese pilot of the Asian Pacific Community fighting in a world war against the Pan European Union. The English script moved the game to 2075 and instead made the player a pilot of the U.S. 45th Foreign Legion assisting Russian forces in beating back an invasion by the APC. The opening FMV was edited to remove German voice clips (as their role as enemies were reversed by the plot changes), although the briefing illustrations and radio chatter in the missions were left unaltered.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_30a5ebfd	comment	The German dub of Naruto is unintentionally hilarious. While the American dub did the usual censorship of injuries, death, and weaponry, the German dub edited out nosebleeds, took Never Say "Die" to its extreme (like Orochimaru suggesting to Kabuto that he'd have to "hide Sasuke forever"), and the weapons that weren't turned into lightsabers were edited out entirely, famously resulting in a scene where a giant sword stuck in a tree had its blade removed and thus turned into a weird levitating stick◊. The voice actors all invoked the Dull Surprise, and action scenes were replaced with Inaction Sequences on par with Dragon Ball Z. Whole plot elements were cut (like the backstory of Kyuubi attacking the village). And to add insult to injury, here's the first German opening. The second fared no better.

Its Japanese counterpart, Super Planetary War Chronicle MetaFight (according to the manual) is about Kane Gardner piloting the Metal Attacker on the planet Sophia III to defeat the Invem Dark Star Cluster army of mutants and their emperor Goez. Since the game was more successful outside of Japan, Japan eventually got the Blaster Master story in the PlayStation sequel Blaster Master: Blasting Again. The 2017 reboot Blaster Master Zero contains elements of both stories, though the Golden Ending reveals it to be a Stealth Sequel to MetaFight.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_41ecc735	comment	The English dub of the 2001 Cyborg 009 series suffered this, as part of Sony Pictures' attempt to sanitize it for younger viewers. The dialogue changes and visual cuts also carried over to other countries where Sony distributed the anime, as they were given the English dub scripts to adapt. It also experienced inconsistent dubbing, with the faithfulness of scripts and dialogue varying heavily, and some episodes' flashbacks not even retaining the dialogue that was in the sourced episodes. When the first few episodes appeared on Toonami, complaints from Moral Guardians caused further edits, removing any questionable language, mentions of 002's atheism (and his Jerk with a Heart of Gold nature in general), and a stronger Never Say "Die" attitude.

Later editing would get so shoddy that at times, you could clearly see the original Japanese actors, or the fact that the footage they were splicing in was from two seperate movies (Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J) starring completely different heroes. Reportedly, Creator Shotaro Ishinomori was so incensed by Saban's take that he swore never to license the franchise againnote Which is why Dragon Knight, below, was made almost ten years after his death and its creators had to prove to Toei that they wouldn't repeat Saban's mistakes in order to get the license in the first place.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_4a6ef2c5	comment	Space Battleship Yamato was dubbed into Star Blazers. It had the usual for this trope; dead bodies were edited out, many a Dub-Induced Plot Hole, and Never Say "Die" (even for characters who would be revived later). Odder things involved super-futuristic Westernized names, strange voice acting decisions (like giving the Season 3 Big Bad a ridiculous Russian accent), and removing some Character Development (degrading some moments to a Senseless Sacrifice). The Comet Empire movie also suffered from this as well, in addition to having 20 minutes cut from it. But despite all that, the show has some meaty moments remain. Wildstar questioning the war, the complex relationship between Desslok and Wildstar, Captain Avatar's actual, on screen death, and a funeral in space for fallen shipmates. For all the limitations placed on it, there was still lots of adult themes.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_527a5949	comment	Science Ninja Team Gatchaman wins a lifetime achievement award for this trope. There have been five separate English dubs of various parts of the franchise: Battle of the Planets, G-Force: Guardians of Space, Eagle Riders, the Urban Vision dub of the Gatchaman OVA, and finally ADV Films' dub of the original series. The ADV dub is the only one of these that didn't have character names and plot points rewritten wholesale. The first of these adaptations, Battle of the Planets, is generally thought to be its own separate entity due to the amount of censorship and rewrites that went into it, along with newly-added Off-Model animation made to cover up the missing material. It's an early example of a Macekre, even with its better points. Most overseas releases of Gatchaman based their scripts off of this adaptation (since Sandy Frank held the international license), although there would be the occasional dub that stuck to the Japanese version or those that adapted from G-Force and Eagle Riders. While most of these English adaptations used either the first Gatchaman TV series or OVA for their source material, Eagle Riders was a Macekre of the second and third series (Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter). Numerous episodes were cut, some episodes were rearranged or had portions from others spliced together, nobody could die, and the series ended on a random episode with no resolution to the main plot.

Then 2015 update brought back the Ship Tease elements and made the player character female again. Considering a character's line◊ in an upcoming set (now only available in Japanese) includes a reference to adding a bracelet around the player character's wrist, it would be difficult to treat the player character as male.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_62bf542	comment	One of the most famous instances is the U.S. version of Super Mario Bros. 2, which is essentially a sprite-hack of the unrelated Japanese game Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo decided to do this because the "original" Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 was basically a Mission-Pack Sequel of the original Super Mario Bros. (but Nintendo Hard), which Western gamers were not likely to appreciate. But the U.S. version turned out to be a hit, if only because Shigeru Miyamoto worked on both Super Mario Bros. and Doki Doki Panic, with many of the Doki Doki characters becoming regular parts of Mario's Rogues Gallery and inspiring Princess Peach's playstyle in future games (most notably the Super Smash Bros. series). Incidentally, the Japanese Mario 2 would eventually come to the States as "The Lost Levels", originally being part of the Compilation Rerelease Super Mario All-Stars.

The script needed drastic alterations too, because the Macross creators didn't want any similarities to their own film, Macross: Do You Remember Love?. The movie was received much worse than Robotech itself; Macek's distributor couldn't get it into theaters in the U.S. because of its tenuous connection to Robotech, and it was still too violent for children (possibly as a result of the action coming from poorly shoehorned Southern Cross footage). He later produced a proper uncut dub of Part 1, which was better received.

As with Mew Mew, many other dubs were based on this version, and inherited the changes.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_8f838aaf	comment	While YMO were no strangers to this trope, the solo work of Ryuichi Sakamoto faced a much greater number of cases. It started with his album B-2 Unit, which had the single "Warhead" added and "Participation Mystique" taken out on the UK version. Then the UK/US version of his album Left Handed Dream was largely different outside Japan (featuring his work with Robin Scott), as was his later Ongaku Zukan (made into Illustrated Music Encyclopedia, a single LP featuring half the tracks, and the two singles "Field Work" and "Steppin' into Asia" added). In the 90s, Sakamoto reworked his albums Beauty and Heartbeat for the international market to make them more marketable— some tracks were translated from Japanese into English, and Beauty gained the single "You Do Me" and the single remix of "We Love You" but lost "Adagio", whereas Heartbeat gained two David Sylvian-sung tracks "Heartbeat (Tainai Kaiki II)" and "Cloud #9" and lost the original "Tainai Kaiki". Also, Heartbeat's unique foldout sleeve was not replicated on the International Version due to being too expensive to produce.

However, it underperformed relative to its lavish production values, so the Western localization cut out most of the game's selling points. Now, most missions are solo, the storyline tries to simplify into something that will allow you to Play the Game, Skip the Story and replaces the story tree with a straight line, and the anime cutscenes were replaced with Infodump text slideshows.

But its ratings meant not enough of the intended demographic were watching to keep it alive. The last two episodes weren't even aired, though were made available on the website. Odds are, we aren't getting that second season. It, too, is dissimilar from its original, and it's best if you don't go in thinking it's going to be totally faithful.

First when it was run on Fox Kids with redubbed voices, rock music, and cuts to remove content deemed inappropriate for children and also to cram the plots into half-hour episodes, rendering most of them incomprehensible. After that bombed, the rightsholder released another half-hour version for syndication, Turbocharged Thunderbirds, which further altered the original episodes to be taking place on the planet "Thunder World", redubbed the dialog yet again to add more "post-modern" jokes, had the Tracy family taking orders from a pair of live-action teenagers who called Jeff Tracy "Mr. T", and referred to the teenagers as Hackers who lived aboard Thunderbird 5, now dubbed "Hacker Command". This version so enraged original creator Gerry Anderson that it was quickly pulled from syndication and supposedly destroyed at his request. Fans think Turbocharged is worse even than the 2004 live-action adaptation (which, for perspective, Anderson called "the biggest load of crap [he'd] ever seen in [his] life").

Given the long-running and intricate story, they only succeeded in creating a morass of plot holes, removing whole episodes and even whole story arcs (Laboon and Little Garden). It also went big into Never Say "Die" and Frothy Mugs of Water (but failed to fix a sequence where Luffy tries to cheat at a Drinking Contest), and it went nuts removing all traces of weaponry (once digitally altering a rifle into a shovel, only for a mob actually wielding shovels to have them edited into bizarre neon blobs later). The cuts reduced the first 144 episodes to 104. After 4Kids finally dropped the license to One Piece, FUNimation redubbed the entire series, including the 4Kids-era episodes.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible is a difficult book to translate, as different parts of it were written in different times and in different languages. Translations were not above reworking some verses to match the contemporary political climate. The Ur-Example in English is the King James version, first commissioned by James I of England in 1611. The translators were instructed to ensure that it supported the views of the Church of England. It subsequently gained significant prominence in the English-speaking world, but the extreme version would have to be the super-fundamentalist "King James Only" movement, which considers the King James version the only proper translation (even if not the original) and all other translations in any languagenote sometimes with very specific exceptions, like Luther's German Bible a Macekre by Satan himself. Words are often translated a certain way to fit specific political views. The New Testament denounces people described by the Greek word malakoi, meaning "soft". At the time, it probably meant Idle Rich, as the Greeks thought luxury made you weak (preferring the relative austerity of The Spartan Way). The King James version has it as "effeminate". In today's political environment, you'll find lots of people who will tell you it really means "homosexual". These people are also willing to pull out random Old Testament translations to further their point, making it as close to "cut and paste" as you're going to get. Teetotalers are uncomfortable with all the mentions of people drinking "wine", so they will translate it into "unfermented grape juice" — except where the passage denounces it.

Most of the drama was removed or rendered incoherent, and the resulting mess was quickly canceled. Furthermore, the first episode was cut entirely because of Fox's concerns that the Hitomi-centric episode would make boys think it was a "girls' show". The uncut version of the dub by The Ocean Group was released on DVD in 2003, and the edited-for-TV version was mercifully forgotten by most. The dub's failure also sidelined Fox Kids' plans for Slayers and Magic Knight Rayearth; all three shows were picked up largely in an ill-advised attempt to stick it to Toonami.

This new series was called Piccoli problemi di cuore and was also sold in many foreign countries with the international title of A little love story.

The original Gokaiger was a sort of homage to One Piece about Space Pirates, but Super Megaforce tried to tie everything to the pre-established Megaforce (which in itself tried to tie everything to MMPR). They didn't do a very good job of that either, leading to there being no explanations for the previous actors' cameo appearances, many of which wound up being wasted anyway. It was so poorly received that showrunner Jonathan Tzachor was fired and replaced by Judd Lynn, and the series eventually returned to form with its adaptation of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger into Power Rangers Dino Charge's first season being better received — but not its second.

Its endearingly quirky characters and the added Mythology Gags were a surprise hit in America, while Car Robots had done so badly in Japan that it was pulled from television before airing its finale. The changes eventually cross-pollinated back to Japan, albeit not without some Continuity Snarl.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_b2fba3e0	comment	The Ultra Series is very prone to this. Ultraman's English dub is quite well-known due to having aired on syndicated American television for many years after it debuted in 1966. While not a complete Macekre, the fact that it was done by the same people who dubbed Speed Racer should tell you a lot about its quality, which probably accounts for the series' poor reputation in the West. Its notoriety also inspired the Ultraseven and Tiga dubs below as Spiritual Successors. When Ultraseven was dubbed into English by Cinar for TNT, it received a Gag Dub that changed many of the characters' names and added sillier dialogue (one episode inserted a running joke of the characters shouting "from space!", every time someone said "invaders"), while also dumbing down the darker elements in favour of making fun of the special effects. This version has since been almost entirely forgotten even by fans of the series (perhaps willingly), but it can be found online in all its awful glory. The Ultraman Tiga dub by 4Kids Entertainment had even more comedic dialogue that mocked the original material, made the series more kid-friendly to Westerners, derailed characters like the level-headed Captain Iruma into idiots, and renamed many other things. Fans think it's either So Bad, It's Good or irredeemably awful, and only 25 out of 52 episodes were aired due to negative reception (and Out of Order to boot). According to Erica Schroeder (who dubbed Rena), this was because 4Kids couldn't decide whether to mock the show or to make it serious.

These three series are unrelated, and the script was mostly from Macross. Robotech made several changes throughout, including censoring nudity (but not all the violence), changing characters' ethnic names from Japanese to English, an original "narrator" who assumed Viewers Are Goldfish, and cutting off a major Macross sequel hook. Anime purists hated it, but it was a commercial success in the U.S. and was indeed credited for creating new anime fans. A subsequent Remaster in 2004 restored much of the original Japanese content, including scenes of violence and nudity. Robotech even got a Recursive Import in Japan (which was credited for reviving interest in the then-moribund Southern Cross).

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_b8e7bb8	comment	This is how Super Sentai became Power Rangers, with the battle footage spliced into entirely new stories. The first three seasons of the latter took three completely separate seasons of the former and reworked it into one "mega-arc", and the later incarnations seem to only be superficially similar to their originals, with the motives of the characters and some story elements being completely changed. Of course, Power Rangers was never intended to be and doesn't claim to be a dub or reenactment of its Super Sentai parent, despite borrowing suits and battle footage. That said, a few seasons are actualy faithful recreations of the original series' plot (or sometimes a Shot-for-Shot Remake, like Power Rangers Wild Force or Power Rangers Samurai), and a few others that made some changes that don't quite make sense. There's a lot of them out there, each with their own quirks. Gekisou Sentai Carranger became Power Rangers Turbo, but Carranger was a parody Sentai show to begin with, which didn't leave Turbo with a lot of options to explain what was happening on screen (like the Rangers being baked into a pizza). Turbo responded by turning on the camp, but that didn't make it better. When Disney got their hands on the equally campy Engine Sentai Go-onger, they turned it into Power Rangers RPM, which mostly lampshaded and ignored the weirder elements and turned it into an apocalyptic series. Denji Sentai Megaranger was adapted into Power Rangers in Space, in spite of Megaranger never actually leaving Earth — they were just surfing Cyberspace. In Space was a smash hit, though. In any event, Saban had already done the "Rangers surfing the web" thing with VR Troopers. Similarly, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman was adapted into Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, and again took an Earth-based show and set it almost entirely in space (they didn't make it back to Earth until the Reunion Show) — it owes more to Star Trek or Star Wars than to Power Rangers, but it was also well received. Going the other direction, Gosei Sentai Dairanger was an homage to Star Wars to begin with, but it was adapted into Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, which was not. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger was adapted into Power Rangers Ninja Storm, which took something that already wasn't particularly serious and turned it incredibly campy, with overexcitable heroes, bumbling villains, and lampshades everywhere. Disney's "remastering" of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers played it frustratingly straight. Rather than simply sharpen up the image, they chose to insert random freeze-frames, comic book-style character explanations, and flashy (but crappy) CGI into the original footage. Some of this was mandated; censors are stricter about on-screen violence these days, so the Hit Flashes served a practical purpose in obscuring the blows. Power Rangers Samurai was a Shot-for-Shot Remake of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, except when it came to Deker and Dayu, whose backstories had to be censored thanks to the meddling executives, making them more sympathetic characters. Tensou Sentai Goseiger was adapted into Power Rangers Megaforce, but it was made unrecognizable in the process; they seemed to be aiming more for a sequel to (if not a remake of) MMPR. Not much ended up making sense, as characters were linked to unrelated series (such as Zordon's Expy being an old student of his), and others were almost totally adapted out. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger was adapted into Super Megaforce, and it makes so little sense that you basically have to watch both series in their entirety. The original Gokaiger was a sort of homage to One Piece about Space Pirates, but Super Megaforce tried to tie everything to the pre-established Megaforce (which in itself tried to tie everything to MMPR). They didn't do a very good job of that either, leading to there being no explanations for the previous actors' cameo appearances, many of which wound up being wasted anyway. It was so poorly received that showrunner Jonathan Tzachor was fired and replaced by Judd Lynn, and the series eventually returned to form with its adaptation of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger into Power Rangers Dino Charge's first season being better received — but not its second. Power Rangers Ninja Steel was adapted from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, which was widely considered one of the worst Sentai in recent memory, so they tweaked the plot until it was nothing like its source material. It wasn't great, but it was better received than the original.

On top of that, the dubbers also misunderstood some terminology, resulting in further odd changes.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_c511c682	comment	Asterix ran into issues when other European markets were keen on changing the Gauls into locals: It was first translated into German by Rolf Kauka, who changed the Gauls into Germanics, naming them "Siggi und Barabbas". When nationality confusion ensued in the book Asterix and the Goths (no, not those Goths), Kauka made the Goths "Eastern Goths", depicting them as Communists from East Germany. The Macekre came to its end when he made The Dragon of The Golden Sickle (who kidnapped the sickle maker and sold overpriced golden sickles) speak with a Jewish accent. That enraged creator René Goscinny, who forbade Kauka from making further translations. In its first English translations for the UK market, the Gauls became ancient Britons. Before the Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge albums, two separate children's magazines printed a few storylines where Asterix and Obelix were known as "Little Fred and Big Ed" and "Beric the Bold and the Son of Boadicea".

The enemy characters were also given sillier names, such as "Jagger Froid" and the "Babalu Destructoid Mechanism". Oddly enough, the manuals for the European Probotector games had more accurate translations, changing the text only to take into account that the main characters were robots.

The game was released only in America and Europe, so the English manual has no Japanese version to be compared with. Even then, it still manages to be inconsistent with the game itself, as the manual identifies the villain as a Middle Eastern dictator named "Higharolla Kockmamia" (a pastiche of Ayatollah Khomeini), but the actual bad guy is revealed to be a cyborg version of Big Boss in the actual game. Additionally, the manual claims that Jennifer "X" (Snake's female contact within the enemy base) is "rumored to be related to Ginger from Gilligan's Island". Considering Kojima’s love of western media references himself, this is pretty much the closest the game gets to having much to do with Metal Gear.

This was done very clumsily, with rampant censorship, and the result was incomprehensible. The Pythons, who had in their contract a clause that their show would not be re-cut without their permission, used this as grounds to sue ABC for breach of contract. The result was that all material produced by Pythons for the BBC became their intellectual property, which was unprecedented at the time.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_ce50887e	comment	The Dragon Ball franchise ran into several attempts to localize it before finally hitting its stride: The earliest attempt to launch Dragon Ball in the U.S. was from Harmony Gold, responsible for Robotech and Captain Harlock above. While their test dub was much more faithful to the original than their previous efforts, it still changed lots of dialogue and Westernized all the names, with such gems as "Zero" and "Bongo" for Goku and Krillin respectively, and Korin being renamed "Whiskers the Wonder Cat". This dub only covered the first five episodes, but Harmony Gold also produced a TV special made up of footage from the first and third movies, with heavily altered dialogue combining the two stories together. Next crack at it was FUNimation, working with The Ocean Group in 1995 on Dragon Ball. This dub only had the first movie as a pilot and the first 13 episodes. Interestingly, the script was mostly recycled from Harmony Gold's earlier dub of the film, with the result that it also had heavy censorship and altered dialogue (although it would also factor prominently into FUNimation's uncut redub years later). They decided to cut their losses and move straight to Dragon Ball Z. For the first dub of Dragon Ball Z, Saban Entertainment joined Ocean and FUNimation as a partner. Many early episodes were cut and rearranged, the third movie was chopped into three separate episodes, many scenes were digitally censored, and nobody died — they were just "sent to another dimension". Some additional Early Installment Weirdness resulted from incomprehensible guidance from Japan. The resulting dub reduced the first 66½ episodes and the third movie to 56 total episodes. It failed to find an audience in weekly syndication, but proved to be a huge success on Cartoon Network's then-new Toonami block, allowing FUNimation to continue the show with their own in-house dub. FUNimation's dub mostly averted this, since while it replaced the soundtrack and toned down some of the dialogue, it was largely uncensored. For their dub of Dragon Ball GT, FUNimation cut the first 16 episodes into one recap episode, replaced the intro with a rap song, and went for a Darker and Edgier tone than the source material.

Having already butchered the original series (as seen elsewhere on this page), the network decided to market it for kids.

They changed a lot, such as characters' names (largely to match the games' localizations) and personalities to make them more relatable to American children (and at least in Misty and Brock's case, to tone down the sexuality). It was a hit anyway, even among those aware of the changes. The dub is also considered good in the West. Later seasons were done by the Pokémon Company International and were much more faithful to the source material, but the Nostalgia Filter has led a number of older fans to prefer the 4Kids version. 4Kids also did the movies, and some of the changes there weren't as well-received. Most notably, Mewtwo from Pokémon: The First Movie was rewritten as a stereotypical Evil Overlord, whereas the original was Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life (albeit rather violently). Pokémon Chronicles was so different from the original, it may as well be a completely different series. This is most evident in its Non-Indicative First Episode, The Legend of Thunder!, made into a TV special.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_e59c7dc4	comment	This was the main method of localizing the Godfrey Ho Ninja Movies. Godfrey Ho was infamous for getting cheap, low-budget Hong Kong films, cutting them to ribbons, and inserting new footage featuring Caucasian actors for distribution in the West. Among his films are Ninja Thunderbolt, Clash of the Ninjas, Full Metal Ninja, and Zombie vs. Ninja. As you could tell, ninjas were a recurring theme, although later efforts included a kickboxing flick and a "superhero" called Catman. He's also done it at least once in the other direction, adding new footage using Asian actors to the Cynthia Rothrock vehicle Undefeatable to create the movie Bloody Mary Killer for distribution in China.

The results were controversial to say the least, though it's worth noting that many of the changes were in response to complaints from Japanese critics.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_ec2d0319	comment	TUGS was brought to the U.S. as part of Salty's Lighthouse in the '90s. The original 15-20 minute episodes were edited down to new, 5-minute shorts that were Lighter and Softer compared to the often dark and mature plotlines of the original. The more consistent changes included renaming "OJ" and "Big Mac" to "Otis" and "Big Stack", and gender swaps for Captain Star and Sunshine. There wasn't much footage to work with, since the original show only had 13 episodes, and as a result, footage was repeated and continuity errors popped up.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_ef2e1620	comment	MegaMan NT Warrior is more or less given the cold stare from the Mega Man Battle Network fandom for being a total mess of changed names, randomly edited scenes, and other strange changes. The name changes in particular were weird, not because the fandom preferred the original Japanese, but rather that the characters already had Westernized names from the localized source material, the Battle Network video games. This led to characters with three names. The same thing happened to some NPCs in Mega Man Star Force.

When Transformers introduced the Decoy figures as an extra packed in with the regular toys, the Italian release passed them off as a crossover with the Exogini line.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_f5d2ead0	comment	Transformers Cybertron, the sequel to Armada and Energon, was by contrast considered a Woolseyism of the highest order, but its dub caused its own share of problems. In Japan, Cybertron was an independent series and not a sequel. This didn't cause much stress until Galaxy Force came out. Fun Publications would later reconcile the continuity errors by shoehorning in a few lines about the "Unicron Singularity" warping the very fabric of reality itself, and manufacturing three shots of the previous series' characters in the series finale. Ironically, Galaxy Force has since been retconned into Micron Legend continuity in Japan.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_f8ede3da	comment	Matthew Ward's English translation of The Stranger (currently the most popular one in America) spends some time bashing Stuart Gilbert's (which before his was the only one available in America). In the original French, and in Ward's version, the narrator begins as a Terse Talker in the vein of an Ernest Hemingway protagonist, then becomes oddly lyrical after going to jail. Gilbert essentially turns him British, and incidentally rewrites some of his odder comments to sound more conventional.

In-game, it is still referred to as "Newtrogic High Zone" in all versions, and there's no time limit.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_fb0c3aa4	comment	Voltron was created by WEP from two unrelated Combining Mecha series, GoLion and Dairugger XV. However, while the plot changes were considerable, the interference between the two combined stories was minimal, and each occurred almost in its own continuity. The biggest change was a Never Say "Die" moment; Sven, who dies in the original, barely survives in the dub. This worked out very well for WEP, because there was such a backlash against his death in the original that they introduced his Backup Twin, which the dub could conveniently say was Sven all along.

The European version went further, by adding additional songs from their debut album. The 1992 international CD release of the album, meanwhile, is mostly based on the Japanese version, but throws in the non-album single "Kageki na Shukujo" and cuts from Naughty Boys Instrumental as bonus tracks due to both having not been part of the concurrent reissue campaign.

Cut-and-Paste Translation / int_febb8460	comment	The original New World Pictures dub of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (which became "Warriors of the Wind") was Macekred so heavily, it became one of the most reviled such translations of The '80s. Miyazaki was so disgusted that he held off licensing his other films until someone approached him with a deal that stipulated no changes to the script or editing. When Miramax picked up Princess Mononoke, one of Studio Ghibli's producers reportedly sent the Miramax execs a katana with a note saying "No cuts". Subsequent dubs, like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, have largely been faithful to the original (with some Woolseyisms to get American viewers up to speed with some Japanese tropes).
