Abstract
In Chaps. 3 and 4, reference has already been made to a number of script components, the most important of which are the dialogues. All other additional components contribute to the functionality of the script as a working tool. As can be noticed, emphasis is being placed on the practical and technical aspects, without intending to undermine the importance of the actual contents, that is, the quality of the translation and adaptation from a linguistic perspective. However, apart from the fact that these are useful for functional and cost-efficiency purposes, where the clients’ point of view is concerned, certain practical issues contribute to the quality standards of the dubbed product and most certainly to the general flow of the dubbing process.
