<p>Cvolton: /* Czech Republic */ roughly updated the voice actors list</p> <hr /> <div>''[[The Simpsons]]'' has been broadcast in the [[United States]] since [[1987]] on [[FOX]]. In other countries, the TV show also started to be broadcast few times later 1987, either in its original version or in a dubbed version.<br /> <br /> In addition to these '''non-English versions''', ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' has also been dubbed in languages for which there is no TV series dubbed version. This is a list over the voice cast of all the different languages.<br /> ==By Language==<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;display:none;&quot;&gt;languages listed here are those broadcast by television channels of different countries&lt;/div&gt;<br /> ===Arabic===<br /> <br /> The show was first broadcast in the area in its original language with Arabic subtitles on networks like Showtime Arabia and Dubai's One TV, where it received a following in the area.<br /> <br /> The show was finally given an Arabic translation in September 2005, under a title that transliterates as &quot;[[Al-Shamshoon]]&quot; (In Arabic, الشمشون) In addition to being dubbed in Arabic (with subtitles provided for shots including written English, such as the chalkboards), references to alcohol (Duff Beer &amp; Moe's Tavern), pork (bacon &amp; hot dogs), and numerous other themes have been deleted or significantly modified. For instance, Homer drinks soda-pop instead of beer and eats beef sausages as opposed to pork and all references to [[Moe's Tavern]] were cut. The characters were also given typical Arabic names such as &quot;Omar&quot;, &quot;Mona&quot; and &quot;Abar&quot; for Homer, Marge and Bart respectively as part of the retooling, while voices were provided by leading actors including Egyptian film star {{W|Mohamed Henedi}} as &quot;Omar&quot; and {{W|Hanan Tork}} as Lisa, and their hometown &quot;[[Springfield]]&quot; was called &quot;''Rabeea''&quot; (Arabic for Spring) and made it look like an American town with a major Arab population. Another major modification was that the Simpsons attended mosque instead of church to reflect an Islamic theme of the show. The series did not fare very well in the Middle East nations and only 34 of the 52 adapted episodes aired.&lt;ref name=&quot;AV&quot;&gt;{{cite news | title = Homer's odyssey - Why The Simpsons flopped in the Middle East| publisher = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | author=Richard Poplak |date = [[2007]]-[[25 July|07-25]] | url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090521131932/http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/dubai.html | accessdate=2008-01-19}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Catalan ===<br /> When the show first aired on TVE (in the early 90s), it aired in both Catalan and Spanish for the audience in Catalonia. Later, when Antena 3 bought the rights for the show, it also aired some episodes in both Catalan and Spanish for a brief period (within 1995) in Catalonia. Not long after, the Catalan dub fell into oblivion.<br /> <br /> === Denmark ===<br /> ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' was dubbed in Danish. The film was shown dubbed in Danish in theaters.&lt;ref&gt;[https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_Movie Danish Wikipedia - &quot;The Simpsons Movie&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Niels Ellegaard|Niels Ellegaard}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Helle Dolleris|Helle Dolleris}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Mille Hoffmeyer Lehfeldt|Mille Hoffmeyer Lehfeldt}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Pauline Rehné|Pauline Rehné}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Abraham Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Nis Bank-Mikkelsen|Nis Bank-Mikkelsen}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Arnold Schwarzenegger|President Schwarzenegger]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Amin Jensen}}}}<br /> {{TBT|{{Ch|Tom Hanks}}}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Preben Kristensen}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Krusty the Clown]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Jens Jacob Tychsen}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Comic Book Guy]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Henrik Koefoed|Henrik Koefoed}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Charles Montgomery Burns]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Søren Ulrichs|Søren Ulrichs}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Moe Szyslak]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Michael Elo}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Ned Flanders]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Christian Damsgaard (skuespiller)|Christian Damsgaard}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Søren Ulrichs|Søren Ulrichs}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Clancy Wiggum]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Peter Zhelder|Peter Zhelder}}/{{W|da:Peter Røschke|Peter Røschke}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Timothy Lovejoy]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Peter Zhelder|Peter Zhelder}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lenny Leonard]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Jens Jacob Tychsen}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Russ Cargill]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Peter Aude|Peter Aude}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Milhouse Van Houten]]}}<br /> {{TB|Sasia Mølgaard}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Santa's Little Helper]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|da:Thomas Mørk|Thomas Mørk}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === Dutch ===<br /> The TV show is currently broadcast by Comedy Central undubbed, with subtitles, which is usual for foreign language TV shows and movies in The Netherlands. Accompanying the original movie version however, was a localised version in Dutch. Another version was recorded for [[Belgium]], featuring Flemish actors. Names of the characters remain unchanged.&lt;ref&gt;[https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_Movie Dutch Wikipedia - &quot;The Simpsons Movie&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The Netherlands ====<br /> The Dutch movie voice actors are:<br /> <br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Reinder van der Naalt|Reinder van der Naalt}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Georgina Verbaan}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Marjolein Algera|Marjolein Algera}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Niki Romijn|Niki Romijn}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Otto Mann]], [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Fred Meijer (acteur)|Fred Meijer}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==== Belgium ====<br /> The Flemish movie voice actors are:<br /> <br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Chris Van den Durpel|Chris Van den Durpel}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Tania Van der Sanden|Tania Van der Sanden}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Vicky Florus|Vicky Florus}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|nl:Mieke Laureys|Mieke Laureys}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> === French ===<br /> ''The Simpsons'' has been dubbed into the French language twice, once in the Canadian province of Quebec and again in France. In both versions, the show is named ''Les Simpson'', as last names are not pluralized in French. Matt Groening has stated that the Quebec version of the series is the best translation of the show in another language in the world. The French audio on the Region 1 [[DVD]]s is the Quebec dub.<br /> <br /> It is one of only a handful of American television shows that have wholly separate versions in Quebec and France, and a number of studies have been made comparing them. In France all the characters speak standard French with a strong Parisian accent, with the exception of the ethnic minorities: [[Apu]] is given the Portuguese accent common to French shop keepers while [[Carl]], who has no accent in the American version, also speaks inflected French. [[Kirk Van Houten]] is given a stereotypical Belgian accent.&lt;ref&gt;Actually, the Brussels accent generally associated with Belgium by the French public. &quot;Van Houten&quot; is a name which can be assumed to be Belgian.&lt;/ref&gt; In the Quebec version only the town elite, such as [[Principal Skinner]] and [[Reverend Lovejoy]], speak International French. The Simpson family and most of the townsfolk speak Quebec French with strong ''Québécois'' accents. In the Quebec version the ethnic minorities also have accents. Apu speaks in a creole while Carl has the accent of a Black immigrant from Africa or the Caribbean.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.randomwalks.com/2000/09/the_simpson_clan_lives_in.html randomWalks: The Simpson clan lives in&lt;div style=&quot;display:none;&quot;&gt; Bot generated title &lt;/div&gt;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Local idioms are occasionally adopted in place of direct translation. American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references. For instance, a reference to Newt Gingrich in Quebec is generally replaced with one to Mike Harris. Most of the recurring characters keep their English names in each French version. Two exceptions are [[Sideshow Bob]] and [[Sideshow Mel]], who are known as Tahiti Bob and Tahiti Mel in France, as the word ''sideshow'' has no direct translation. In Quebec, the title ''sideshow'' is kept as an Anglicism. Another exception is made for Simpsons family's dog, [[Santa's Little Helper]], who is called &quot;Le p'tit renne au nez rouge&quot; (Little Red-Nosed Reindeer) in the Quebec version and &quot;Petit Papa Noël&quot; (Little Santa) in the French one.<br /> <br /> The episodes are dubbed by a team of voice actors, similar to the one that does the original. The team does about two episodes per day. In general these voice actors also do the characters who were voiced by celebrities in the American version. In the French version, on occasion, official dubbers are brought in. For instance for the episode where [[Mulder]] and [[Dana Scully|Scully]] from the ''X-Files'' appear the voice actors who do their voices on the French version of the ''X-Files'' guest starred.<br /> <br /> The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English, subtitled in French, in the two French versions. One important exception is the blackboard joke at the beginning of each episode. The Quebec and France versions share these French language blackboard scenes.<br /> <br /> In July 2007 [[Matt Groening]] said in an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien that the actor (Philippe Peythieu) who does the voice of France French [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] says &quot;Toe!&quot; instead of Homer's trademark &quot;[[D'oh!]]&quot;. This comes from the actor misreading the line the first time he did Homer's voice and has been that way ever since.<br /> <br /> {{W|Philippe Peythieu}}, the France French voice of Homer, and {{W|Véronique Augereau}}, the France French voice of Marge, first met on the dubbing of the series and are now married, just like their animated counterparts. On April 8, [[2007]], Peythieu and Augereau hosted &quot;in character&quot; a special prime-time compilation of their favorite Simpsons episodes on French cable channel W9.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.simpsonsweb.com/recherche-actualite-prime-p7 French dubbers host Simpsons Prime-time night&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Although the location and setting of the show are not changed in the Quebec dub (still takes place in the United States), many references to the characters watching American TV shows, movies, etc. are changed to references to Québécois ones (the same is done in the Quebec dub of [[King of the Hill]], done by the same company). For example, a reference to Homer watching CSI: Miami in the original was changed to Fortier, a similar Québécois show. Although these changed references would be familiar to the French-Canadian viewer, in real life these would be awkward because almost all Québécois media is unknown in the USA. In addition, most instances of the word &quot;English&quot; are changed to &quot;French&quot;. Due to this, in one episode where Homer visits Canada, the roles of anglophones and francophones are completely reversed, resulting in a stereotypical English Canadian speaking French and a stereotypical French Canadian speaking English.<br /> <br /> Most Québécois who know about the France version are not too fond of it; the humor is completely different. Télétoon, which broadcasts the Quebec Simpsons dub, also once broadcasted France dubs of [[Futurama]] (also created by Matt Groening) and [[Family Guy]], two shows similar to The Simpsons whose French dubs were also similar to The Simpsons' Parisian dub. Although The Simpsons has been on Télétoon long before the other two shows, Futurama and Family Guy are no longer shown on the network, while The Simpsons continues to be aired. Although this could have been done because there were no more French episodes of Futurama and Family Guy to air (reruns were repeatedly aired), it could as well have been because of a lack of popularity- Télétoon airs many other shows that only repeatedly show reruns.<br /> <br /> ==== Catchphrases ====<br /> In France version of the show, many catchphrases are also translated: Homer's &quot;D'oh&quot; becomes &quot;T'oh&quot;, Bart's &quot;Eat my shorts&quot; becomes &quot;Va te faire shampouiner&quot; (no direct translation, like &quot;go to hell&quot;). When Homer tries to throttle Bart, his phrase &quot;Why you little...&quot; becomes &quot;espèce de sale petit...&quot;, literally &quot;kind of dirty lil'...&quot;.<br /> <br /> In Quebec version of the show, &quot;D'oh!&quot; stays &quot;D'oh!&quot;, Bart's &quot;Eat my shorts&quot; becomes &quot;Mange de la crotte&quot; (we could translate it by &quot;Eat some shit&quot; but in a censored way), Bart's &quot;I didn't do it!&quot; becomes &quot;J'ai rien fait&quot;. When Homer tries to throttle Bart, he says &quot;Oh, Mon p'tit verrat&quot; (a Quebec expression) instead of &quot;Why you little...&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==== France ====<br /> The French voice actors are:<br /> <br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]], [[Abraham Simpson]], [[Otto Mann]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Philippe Peythieu}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]], [[Selma Bouvier]], [[Patty Bouvier]], [[Jacqueline Bouvier]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Véronique Augereau}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]], [[Jimbo Jones]] (since season 7)}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Joëlle Guigui|Joëlle Guigui}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]], [[Milhouse Van Houten]], [[Maggie Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Brigitte Lecordier|Brigitte Lecordier}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]], [[Ned Flanders]], [[Reverend Lovejoy]], [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]], [[Carl]], [[Barney Gumble]], [[Lou]], [[Troy McClure]], [[Rainier Wolfcastle]], [[Comic Book Guy]], [[Snake]], [[Lionel Hutz]], [[Superintendent Chalmers]], [[Duffman]], [[Herbert Powell]] (voice 1), Guibole, [[Roger Meyers]] (voice 4)}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Patrick Guillemin}} (seasons 1-9) Pierre Laurent (since season 10)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Moe Szyslak]], [[Lenny]], [[Willie]], [[Cletus]], [[Eddie]], [[Arnie Pie]], [[Louie]], [[Database]], [[Lance Murdock]], [[Scratchy]] (voice 1), [[John Frink]], [[Disco Stu]], Murphy Gencives Sanglantes (voice 2) [[Roger Meyers]] (voice 3)}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Roland Timsit|Roland Timsit}} (seasons 1-4) {{W|fr:Gilbert Levy|Gilbert Levy}} (since season 5)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Charles Montgomery Burns]], [[Krusty]], [[Clancy Wiggum]], [[Principal Skinner]], [[Dr. Hibbert]], [[Marvin Monroe]], [[Kent Brockman]], [[Joe Quimby]], Tahiti Bob, [[Captain McCallister]], Hans Taupeman, [[Gil Gunderson]], [[Jasper]], [[Kirk Van Houten]], [[Snyder]], [[Larry]], [[Kang]], [[Nick Riviera]], [[Dewey Largo]], [[Fat Tony]] (voice 2), [[Scratchy]] (voice 2), [[Herbert Powell]] (voice 2), [[Roger Meyers]] (voice 2), [[Clancy Bouvier]] (voice 2)}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Michel Modo}} (seasons 1-19) {{W|Gérard Rinaldi}} (since season 19)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Edna Krabappel]] (since season 7), [[Elizabeth Hoover]], [[Sarah Wiggum]], [[Maude Flanders]], [[Agnes Skinner]], [[Doris]], [[Helen Lovejoy]], [[Luann Van Houten]], [[Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon]], [[Bernice Hibbert]], [[Mona Olsen]], [[Itchy]], [[Nelson]], [[Jimbo Jones]] (seasons 2-6), [[Kearney]], [[Dolph]], [[Martin Prince, Jr.]], [[Wendell Borton]], [[Lewis Clark]], [[Uter]], [[Janey Powell]], [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]], [[Ralph Wiggum]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Régine Teyssot|Régine Teyssot}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Rod Flanders]], [[Todd Flanders]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|fr:Aurélia Bruno|Aurélia Bruno}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> *The dialogue is adapted by Juliette Vigouroux and Alain Cassard until season 19, the dialogue was done by Regine Teyssot now.<br /> *Artistic direction by Christian Dura<br /> <br /> There are two important changes in Simpson French dub. first, the departure of Patrick Guillemin at the end of season 9. and now the French adapters and Michel Modo (who died recently) during season 19.

The show is named ''Die Simpsons'' and the episodes appear uncut and dubbed, with written or sung English subtitled in German. The animation of the show is not changed. In the blackboard scene, Bart reads the phrase translated. Homer's alveolar catch phrase &quot;[[D'oh!]]&quot; has been translated to &quot;Nein!&quot; (meaning &quot;No!&quot;) rather than leaving it as the meaningless interjection that is his annoyed grunt.<br /> <br /> ==== Characters ====<br /> Nearly all of the characters carry their American names; there are only just a few characters which are translated, especially animals. For example [[Reverend Lovejoy]] is still Reverend Lovejoy. Lovejoy's name seems to be the single one ever (partially) translated into German for some episodes (&quot;Reverend Gottlieb&quot;). Gottlieb is a real German first name - albeit outdated - meaning &quot;to love God&quot;. In the earlier episodes, Homer is called 'Humor', because the German translators didn't know how to spell it.<br /> <br /> Translated characters:<br /> *[[Sideshow Bob]]: Tingeltangel Bob, Sideshow Bob<br /> :''In prior episodes solely translated as Tingeltangel Bob, afterwards taken over the original.''<br /> *[[Reverend Lovejoy]]: Reverend Gottlieb, Reverend Lovejoy<br /> :''Reverend Gottlieb was used just a very few times, afterwards generally the original.''<br /> *[[Üter]]: Uter<br /> :''In the German version always a stereotypical Swiss, because they wouldn't make fun of themselves.''<br /> *[[Hans Moleman]]: Hans Maulwurf<br /> *[[Bleeding Gums Murphy]]: Zahnfleischbluter Murphy<br /> *[[Santa's Little Helper]]: Knecht Ruprecht<br /> *[[Snowball]]: Schneeball in some episodes, but generally the original is used.<br /> <br /> The German voice actors are:<br /> <br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Norbert Gastell}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Elisabeth Volkmann}} † (season 1 - HABF04) &lt;br /&gt; {{W|Anke Engelke}} (HABF05 - *)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Sandra Schwittau|Sandra Schwittau]]}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Sabine Bohlmann}}}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Abe Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Walter Reichelt|Walter Reichelt]] † (season 1 - 8) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Ulrich Bernsdorff|Ulrich Bernsdorff]] † (season 9) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Horst Raspe|Horst Raspe]] † (season 10 - 15) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Michael Rüth|Michael Rüth]] (season 16 - *)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Patty Bouvier]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Gudrun Vaupel|Gudrun Vaupel]] (season 1) &lt;br /&gt; {{W|Elisabeth Volkmann}} † (season 2 - GABF17) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Angelika Bender|Angelika Bender]] (HABF08 - *)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Selma Bouvier]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|de:Ursula Mellin|Ursula Mellin}} (season 1) &lt;br /&gt; {{W|Elisabeth Volkmann}} † (season 2 - GABF17) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Angelika Bender|Angelika Bender]] (HABF10 - *)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Ned Flanders]]}}<br /> {{TB|Ulrich Frank}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Charles Montgomery Burns]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Reinhard Brock|Reinhard Brock]]}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Krusty the Clown]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Hans-Rainer Müller|Hans-Rainer Müller]]}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Seymour Skinner]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Fred Klaus|Fred Klaus]] † (season 1 - 13) &lt;br /&gt; [[german:Klaus Guth|Klaus Guth]] (season 14 - *)}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Edna Krabappel]]}}<br /> {{TB|[[german:Gudrun Vaupel|Gudrun Vaupel]] (season 1 - 4) &lt;br /&gt; {{W|Inge Solbrig}} (season 5 - *)}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Link with photos and sound samples:<br /> *[http://www.synchronkartei.de/index.php?action=show&amp;type=serie&amp;id=2991 German voice actors]<br /> <br /> === Portuguese ===<br /> ==== Brazilian version ====<br /> *[[Homer Simpson]]: Waldyr Sant'anna (seasons 1-7, and 15-17); Julio Cesar (seasons 8-14); Carlos Alberto (since season 18)<br /> *[[Marge Simpson]]: Selma Lopes (seasons 1-7, and since season 14); Mariângela Cantú (seasons 8-10); Nelly Amaral (season 11-13)<br /> *[[Bart Simpson]]: {{W|pt:Peterson Adriano|Peterson Adriano}} (seasons 1-7); Rodrigo Antas (since season 8)<br /> *[[Lisa Simpson]]: Nair Amorim (seasons 1-7); Priscila Amorim (season 8-14); Flávia Saddy (since season 15)<br /> <br /> ==== Portugal ====<br /> In [[Portugal]] the series itself is not dubbed in order to provide an unbiased instance of the show to the general audience.<br /> <br /> ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', however, did receive a dubbed version, in which José Jorge Duarte, Cláudia Cadima, Carla de Sá, and Manuela Couto provide the voice of Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Spanish ===<br /> {{Engrish|section}}<br /> ''The Simpsons'' is also being dubbed into the {{w|Spanish language}} twice, once in {{w|Latin America}} and again in [[Spain]]. In both versions, the show is named ''Los Simpson'', as last names are not pluralized in Spanish. Between the two versions are many differences. In Latin America [[Homer]] is translated as ''Homero'', but in Spain it isn't translated. Other translations in Latin America but not in Spain are: Barney Gumble as ''Barney Gómez'', Chief Wiggum as ''Jefe Gorgory'', Ralph Wiggum as ''Ralf/Rafa Gorgory'', Reverend Lovejoy as ''Reverendo Alegría'', Sideshow Bob as ''Bob Patiño'' and Mayor &quot;Diamond&quot; Joe Quimby as ''Alcalde Diamante''. Itchy and Scratchy are translated in the two versions: ''Tommy y Daly'' for Latin America, and ''Rasca y Pica'' for Spain.<br /> <br /> The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English in the Spanish versions. In the blackboard scene, we hear Bart reading the phrase translated. After the introduction, in the Latin American version we hear Homer saying the name of the episode, while this does not happen in the Spanish version. The region 1 DVDs include the Latin American audio.<br /> <br /> ==== Latin American Version ====<br /> The Latin American Version is dubbed in [[Mexico]] by Audiomaster 3000 (seasons 1-14) and New Art Dub (season 15, onwards). The DVD commentary for season 3's [[like Father, Like Clown]] states that writer [[Wallace Wolodarsky]] went to several countries, including Mexico and Germany, to cast the foreign versions. The most memorable cast dubbed from seasons 1 through 9 and was:<br /> *Homer: Humberto Vélez (seasons 1-15)/ Víctor Manuel Espinoza (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Marge: Nancy McKenzie (seasons 1-15)/ Marina Huerta (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Bart: Marina Huerta (seasons 1-9, 16 onwards)/ Claudia Motta (seasons 9-15).<br /> *Lisa: Patricia Acevedo (seasons 1-15)/ Nallely Solís (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Mr. Burns: Gabriel Chávez (seasons 1-15)/ Miguel Angel Botello (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Abraham Simpson: Carlos Petrel (season 1-11, died)/ Roberto Reséndiz (season 12)/ Humberto Vélez (season 13)/ Arturo Mercado (a couple of episodes)/ Sebastián Llapur (season 14, onwards).<br /> *Seymour Skinner: Agustín Sauret (season 1-4)/ José Luis Castañeda (season 5-9)/ Gabriel Pingarrón (season 9-15)/ Gerardo Vásquez, onwards).<br /> *Ned Flanders: Agustín Sauret (seasons 1-15)/ Oscar Gómez (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Waylon Smithers, Jr.: Octavio Rojas (seasons 1-15)/ Eduardo Fonseca (season 16, onwards).<br /> *Patty: Nelly Horseman (season 1-15)/ Erika Mireles (season 16, onwards)<br /> *Selma: Nelly Salvar (seasons 1-15)/ Erika Mireles (season 16, onwards)<br /> *Edna Krabappel: Loretta Santini (seasons 1-15)/ Gabriela Gómez (season 16, onwards)<br /> *Nelson: Sergio Bonilla (seasons 1-12)/ Carlos Amador (seasons 13-15)/ Eduardo Garza (a couple of episodes)/ Edson Matus (season 16-17)/ Hugo Núñez (season 17, onwards).<br /> *Moe: César Izaguirre (season 1-4)/ Jorge Ornelas(season 5, onwards).<br /> <br /> During season 9, Huerta quit playing Bart for not being well paid by the company, and was replaced by Claudia Motta. Before season 16, the main cast had a legal issue with Grabaciones y Doblajes (today, New Art Dub) because it wanted the actors to be in the National Actors Association of Mexico, and they were not in that association, so as a result, the whole cast was fired. Beginning at season 16, they were replaced by new actors (in fact, they &quot;copy&quot; the old actors's character voice so the change is not so drastic for the viewers) and Huerta returned to do Bart's voice and replaced Nancy McKenzie to make Marge's voice.<br /> <br /> ==== Spanish Version ====<br /> The principal cast is the following:&lt;ref name=&quot;spanishdub1&quot;&gt;[http://www.eldoblaje.com/datos/FichaPelicula.asp?id=32 Spanish dub cast list]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> *[[Homer Simpson]]: {{W|es:Carlos Revilla|Carlos Revilla}} (Seasons 1-11, died)/{{W|es:Carlos Ysbert|Carlos Ysbert}} (Season 12 ownards)<br /> *[[Marge Simpson]] and her sisters: Amparo Soto (replaced at 4th season by Begoña Hernando due to voice problems with his character; in the 6th season Hernando was replaced by Margarita de Francia due to the same problem)<br /> *[[Lisa Simpson]]: Isacha Mengíbar<br /> *[[Bart Simpson]]: {{W|es:Sara Vivas|Sara Vivas}}<br /> *[[Seymour Skinner]]: José Padilla<br /> *[[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]] and [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]]:&amp;nbsp;: Javier García<br /> *[[Ned Flanders]]: Oscar Gómez<br /> *[[Rod Flanders]]: Laura Palacios<br /> *[[Todd Flanders]]: Elena Palacios<br /> <br /> Many fans of the series and the rest of the Spanish cast were very sad after the death of Carlos Revilla due to his excellent work,&lt;ref name=&quot;spanishdub2&quot;&gt;[http://simpsons.metropoliglobal.com/informacion/carlosrevilla.htm Spanish Carlos Revilla memorial]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;spanishdub3&quot;&gt;[http://simpsons.metropoliglobal.com/articulos/humildad.htm Spanish Carlos Revilla memorial 2]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;spanishdub4&quot;&gt;[http://simpsons.metropoliglobal.com/articulos/carlosrevilla.htm Spanish Carlos Revilla memorial 3]&lt;/ref&gt; and Antena 3 had to find a substitute for Revilla's voice (as opposed to Dan Castellaneta's).&lt;ref name=&quot;spanishdub5&quot;&gt;[http://www.elsemanal.tv/serie_noticia.php?id=53&amp;rid=3029 Elsemanal.tv article about Revilla's substitute]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Carlos Revilla also dubbed the appearance of [[KITT]] in the episode [[The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace]], like he did in Knight Rider. There are other characters that conserve their frequent voice in Spain: like [[Fox Mulder|Mulder]] and [[Dana Scully|Scully]] from the ''X-Files'', or [[Sideshow Bob]] and his brother Cecil. They are dubbed by the same actors who dub [[Kelsey Grammer]] and [[David Hyde Pierce]] in Frasier.<br /> <br /> The Spanish version of the Simpsons also distinguishes itself by using more literal translations of what the characters are saying. The Spanish translation would most likely seem very salacious to a Latin American audience. Another large difference between the two versions is that in the Spanish version the guest stars are always voiced by that actor's particular Spanish voice counterpart. In this way if the Spanish public is expecting to hear Glenn Close they actually hear the voice they usually equate to that actress.<br /> <br /> == By country ==<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;display:none;&quot;&gt;Countries listed here are those broadcasting the original version or those whose dubbed version is broadcast in only one country&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> === China ===<br /> In 2006, ''The Simpsons'', along with other shows such as ''[[Pokémon]]'', ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' and {{W|Mickey Mouse}} cartoons, were barred from being aired during primetime (5:00 to 8:00 PM) in [[China]]. This was done so that Chinese cartoons, which were having a hard time competing with foreign cartoons, would gain more viewers. The government had previously tried several things, such as ordering that networks cut down on the number of foreign animated series being aired in 2000 and in 2004, passed a rule that would ensure that 60 percent of cartoon content came from Chinese studios.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news | title =China Bans 'Simpsons' From Prime-Time TV| publisher = {{w|Washington Post}} | author=joe MacDonald |date = [[2006-08-13]] | url = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/13/AR2006081300242_pf.html | accessdate=2008-02-10}}&lt;/ref&gt; The move was heavily criticized by Chinese media.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news | title = D'oh!

The show was named &quot;Семейство Симпсън&quot; (literally &quot;Simpson Family&quot;). There were rarely any mistranslations in the scripts, only the untranslatable word puns were changed to such in Bulgarian, albeit not nearly as creative as the originals. The dubbing, much like everythig else dubbed for Bulgarian television, was crude and the original voices could be heard in the background. In mid 2006 dubbed versions of seasons 5 through 7 started running on the Bulgarian FOX Life after numerous reruns of the previous seasons. The dub quality was a little lower than the one of the first four seasons and almost the entire voice cast had been replaced. Minor mistranslations occurred from time to time, but they were not anything significant. In early May 2007 dubbed versions of the 8th and 9th season started airing on the Bulgarian FOX Life with the same voice cast as in the previous three seasons. The quality of the dub had however greatly declined - the voice direction had become very poor and all the lines were read in pretty much the same fashion; the secondary characters' voices were very inconsistent; the scripts were poorly translated and most of the spoken humor was lost (not only the untranslatable word puns). In late September 2007 a dubbed version of the 10th season started running on the Bulgarian FOX Life. The dub quality was as worse as the previous two seasons'.<br /> <br /> === Czech Republic ===<br /> ''The Simpsons'' has been dubbed into the {{W|Czech language}} and the show is named '''''Simpsonovi'''''.

The show is named ''I Simpson'' - as last names are not pluralized in Italian. The animation of the show is changed: whenever something written in English appears on screen, the Italian version superimposes the translated phrase. In the initial blackboard scene, Bart reads the phrase translated but the blackboard itself still shows the English words.<br /> <br /> ==== Characters ====<br /> Main characters carry their American names; many of the side characters, however, have their names translated:<br /> *Santa's Little Helper: Piccolo aiutante di Babbo Natale;<br /> *Snowball: Palla di neve;<br /> *Moe Szyslak: Boe Szyslak (his tavern's sign ''Moe'' has always superimposed ''Boe'')<br /> *Fat Tony: Tony Ciccione;<br /> *Clancy Wiggum: Clancy Winchester (in just one episode, ''Homer alone'', his last name is left Wiggum)<br /> *Edna Krabappel: Edna Caprapall<br /> *&quot;Bleeding gums&quot; Murphy: &quot;Gengive sanguinanti&quot; Murphy<br /> *Itchy and Scratchy: Grattachecca e Fichetto (in one episode they are translated as Grattino e Pruritino)<br /> *Hans Moleman: Hans Uomo Talpa<br /> *Otto Mann: Otto Disc<br /> *Sideshow Bob (Mel): Telespalla Bob (Mel)<br /> *Jimbo, Kearney, Dolph: Secco, Patata, Spada (literal translations: Slim, Potato, Sword)<br /> <br /> Many characters are dubbed with strong local accents: Wiggum, Lou and Marvin Monroe talk like men from {{w|Naples}}, Eddie talks like someone from {{w|Bari}}, Carl with a [[Venice]] accent, Reverend Lovejoy is a {{w|Calabria}}n, Otto Mann a Milanese, Fat Tony - obviously - a {{w|Sicily|Sicilian}}, and Willie is a {{w|Sardinia}}n.<br /> <br /> The Italian voices:<br /> <br /> {{Table|<br /> {{TH|Character}}<br /> {{TH|Voice actors}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Homer Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|{{W|Tonino Accolla}}, later replaced by Massimo Lopez}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Marge Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|Liù Bosisio, later replaced by Sonia Scotti}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Bart Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|Ilaria Stagni, later replaced by Gaia Bolognesi}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Lisa Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|Monica Ward}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Abraham Simpson]]}}<br /> {{TB|Mario Milita, later replaced by Mino Caprio}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Patty Bouvier]]}}<br /> {{TRs|Liù Bosisio, later replaced by Antonella Alessandro|2}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Selma Bouvier]]}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Ned Flanders]]}}<br /> {{TB|Pino Insegno, later replaced by Francesco Prando}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Charles Montgomery Burns]]}}<br /> {{TB|Sandro Iovino}}<br /> {{TBT|[[Krusty the Clown]]}}<br /> {{TB|Fabrizio Mazzotta}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==== Catchphrases ====<br /> Many [[catchphrases]] are also translated: while Homer's &quot;D'oh&quot; remains the same in Italian, Bart's &quot;Ay caramba&quot; becomes &quot;E che cacchio&quot; (meaning &quot;What the hell&quot;, where &quot;cacchio&quot; is actually a euphemism for &quot;dick&quot;) and &quot;Eat my shorts&quot; becomes &quot;Ciucciati il calzino&quot; (lit. &quot;Suck your sock&quot;).<br /> When Homer tries to throttle Bart, his phrase &quot;Why you little...&quot; becomes &quot;Brutto bacarospo...&quot;. &quot;Brutto&quot; means &quot;ugly&quot;, while &quot;bacarospo&quot; is a non-existent word, a portmanteau of &quot;bacarozzo&quot;, which is a Romanesco word for &quot;scarafaggio&quot; (Eng: &quot;cockroach&quot;) and Italian &quot;rospo&quot;

<p>Cvolton: /* Appearances */ added &quot;Homer Defined&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>{{Featured article}}<br /> {{Town<br /> |name = Shelbyville<br /> |image = [[File:Shelbyville 2.png|250px]]<br /> |country = USA<br /> |state = [[Springfield's State]]<br /> |county = [[Springfield County]]<br /> |founder = [[Shelbyville Manhattan]]<br /> |founded = 1796<br /> |incorporated = 1796<br /> |city motto = Springfield Sucks<br /> |mayor = Bess Fill<br /> |elevation = <br /> |population = Over 300,000<br /> |area code = 402<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Shelbyville''' is a town on the outskirts of [[Springfield]]. They are treated as twin cities, though there is an intense rivalry between the two, dating back to their founders. Shelbyville is to the west of Springfield.&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History and rivalry with Springfield ==<br /> The city of Shelbyville was founded by [[Shelbyville Manhattan]] in 1796, who held the belief people should be allowed to marry their cousins, a practice fellow explorer and founder of Springfield [[Jebediah Springfield]] disallowed. As a result of this disagreement, the two founders and their party split into separate groups, and went their own ways. Since that time, the populaces of Springfield and Shelbyville have held a strong rivalry. The feud continues til this day, with a group of Shelbyville kids stealing the [[Springfield Lemon Tree]].<br /> <br /> According to [[Lisa Simpson]], Springfield built a mini-mall purposely larger than a mini-mall Shelbyville built. After this, Shelbyville made the world's largest pizza, so Springfield burned down Shelbyville's city hall. For this, Shelbyville spiked the town's water supply as part of, in Lisa's words, &quot;another chapter in the pointless rivalry between Springfield and Shelbyville.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Homer Loves Flanders]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; The rivalry is well-known even among outsiders: the town was manipulated by [[Lyle Lanley]], who convinces the residents of Springfield to spend a large sum of money on the [[Springfield Monorail]] system they do not need, by musing the idea might be better suited for Shelbyville. ([[Mayor Quimby]] quickly tells him the Springfieldians are twice as smart as the people of Shelbyville, so if he'll just tell them his idea, they'll vote for it.)<br /> [[File:Shelbyville Statue.png|thumb|Statue of Shelbyville Manhattan|200px]]<br /> According to [[Abe Simpson]], Shelbyville was called &quot;Morganville&quot; during the 1910s, which, he elaborates, was when &quot;nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em&quot; and men tied onions to their belts, &quot;which was the style at the time&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Last Exit to Springfield]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref group=&quot;note&quot;&gt;Due to Abe's senility, it is unknown if this is true.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The town was crushed when Springfieldians tore down a giant sun blocker owned by [[Mr. Burns]], which accidentally fell upon the town.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Shelbyville was once destroyed by a nuclear weapon.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[24 Minutes]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> According to Lou, Shelbyville apparently possesses at least one McDonald's fast food restaurant, as he visited it one Friday night.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === &quot;Song of Shelbyville&quot; ===<br /> [[Simpson family|The Simpsons]] once visited Shelbyville and attended a play entitled &quot;Song of Shelbyville&quot;. The play featured a parody of Springfieldians as uncultured hicks, and when Lisa objects to this portrayal, the crowd started pointing at the family and made a noise [[Marge]] called &quot;hate-hoots&quot;. Springfield then proceeded to build an expensive concert hall in another effort to avoid being outdone by Shelbyville. (This effort, like the monorail, went horribly wrong.)&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Seven-Beer Snitch]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Landmarks ==<br /> [[File:Shelbyville Theater District.png|thumb|left|Shelbyville Theater District]]<br /> Landmarks and features of Shelbyville include: its own nuclear power plant, owned by [[Aristotle Amadopolis]]; [[Shelbyville Elementary School]]; Shelbyville High School (which competes against [[Springfield High School]] in student debate competitions); a &quot;[[Speed-E-Mart]]&quot; convenience store; local bar [[Joe's Tavern]] (where &quot;[[Fudd Beer]]&quot; is served, despite having been recalled after a large number of hillbillies went blind); Shelbyville Theater District; and yellow-colored fire hydrants. Most of these features, and the people staffing them, strongly resemble Springfield's (a Scottish female who resembles [[Groundskeeper Willie]] works at Shelbyville Elementary, for instance).<br /> <br /> Other features include at least one mini-mall, a zoo, a Best Western hotel, a city dump, and natural landmarks Rolling Rock (a giant boulder rolling between two steep cliffs) and Shelbyville Falls, a waterfall.<br /> <br /> Shelbyville also has a large monument to the town's founder, Shelbyville Manhattan, similar to Springfield's [[statue of Jebediah Springfield]]. However, unlike Springfield's more noble statue, Shelbyville's monument shows the founder with two women, possibly his cousins.<br /> <br /> ==== Suburbs of Shelbyville ====<br /> *Chinatown<br /> *Downtown Shelbyville<br /> *Manhattan Square<br /> *Morgue<br /> *[[Rolling Rock]]<br /> *Sabertooth<br /> *[[Shelbyville Bluffs]]<br /> *Shelbyville Heights<br /> <br /> == Sports ==<br /> Shelbyville's sports teams include the Shelbyville Shelbyvillians (minor league baseball), the Shelbyville Visitors (minor league hockey) and the [[Shelbyville Sharks]] (American football). Once a year, the annual &quot;Pigskin Classic&quot; football game is held between the Shelbyville Sharks and Springfield's football team, the [[Springfield Atoms]].<br /> <br /> Shelbyville beat out Springfield in the bid for the Olympics, after Springfield's chances for earning it were spoiled by ethnocentric comedy by [[Bart Simpson]]. Springfield's little league baseball team, the Iso-Tots, was once beaten in a championship by Shelbyville's team.&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[[The Boys of Bummer]]&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Shelbyvillians ==<br /> The people of Shelbyville are not much smarter or less quick to anger than the people of Springfield. On some occasions, Shelbyville has been shown as the more culturally sophisticated of the two cities with a better public school system and hospital, demonstrated by [[Abe Simpson]] saying &quot;I'm going to a better place. Shelbyville hospital!&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Milhouse Van Houten]]'s mother, [[Luann Van Houten]], was born in Shelbyville. Shelbyville also has a person with the name {{ap|Milhouse|Lemon of Troy}}.<br /> <br /> The first set of [[Shelbyville Nine|nonuplets]] were born here<br /> <br /> == Behind the Laughter ==<br /> Shelbyville was ranked 10th in &quot;The 10 Best Dystopias&quot; in the December 2005 issue of ''Wired'' magazine.<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> {{incomplete}}<br /> *{{ep|Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Defined}}<br /> *{{ep|Homer Alone|(mentioned)}}<br /> *{{ep|Black Widower}}<br /> *{{ep|Marge vs. the Monorail}}<br /> *{{ep|Lemon of Troy}}<br /> *{{ep|Who Shot Mr. Burns?
