dubbed version
Translated voice track
A dubbed version is a film or television program where the original dialogue has been replaced with recordings in a different language.
Voice actors re-perform the script so viewers can watch without reading subtitles: I prefer the dubbed version—I don't like reading while I watch.
The term sometimes carries a slightly dismissive tone among film purists who favor subtitled originals.
