English has influenced various other languages in many ways, at times quite directly (vocabulary and so on), sometimes less so. A very specific kind of translation from English - dubbing - has had a very subtle influence on some languages, Italian being one good example. In their search for good labial matches, dialogue translators may resort to using words and phrases which are not really suitable or natural Italian expressions, but which nevertheless render the idea. This is particularly true for certain short one-word expressions and other short phrases. Pronouns and swear words are often particularly problematic. As a result of this 'imaginative' translation, and due to the vast numbers of dubbed (principally American) films and TV series shown in Italy, the Italian language is starting to show some subtle effects of this process. We can pin-point the way that dubbing from English has influenced various aspects of the Italian language from new meanings and new usages for words to shifts in meanings, and from word order to pronunciation.
