● A Multidisciplinary Field
Both media and translation are “multidisciplinary” fields that intersect with other sciences in many respects, drawing concepts and theories from other fields such as psychology, sociology, economics, and others. Although translation and media are independent and separate fields, each belonging to a different domain, they meet at many points, which can be summarized in two main aspects: the first, purely academic, and the second, applied.

● The Academic Aspect
From an academic standpoint, there are strong ties between the field of media and linguistics—from which translation branches—in concepts, theories, and research methodologies. For example, rhetorical linguistic theories are used in media, and semiotics is used in media studies.
● The Nature of the Text
Among the characteristics that distinguish dubbing in particular, and audiovisual translation in general, is the “nature of the text,” as texts require certain conditions during the process of transferring them from the source language to the target language.
In fact, the audiovisual translator must take into account the nature of the text to be translated in dubbing, as it combines the auditory and the visual at the same time, and he must reformulate the meaning while taking the image and sound into consideration…
The nature of the audiovisual text also affects the translator’s work.
The first feature of the translation lies, without doubt, in the fact that the translator writes for the eye and the ear—that is, he writes for a speaker and a listener, not just for a reader ● Synchronization in Dubbing
The harmony and correspondence between sound and image is known as “synchronization,” one of the core pillars of dubbing—indeed, the foundation upon which the success of the dubbed version depends. Synchronization is not limited to the correspondence between lip movement and the translated dialogue only; it extends beyond that in detail through this comprehensive and precise model classification of “synchronization” in dubbing, which brings together all aspects of synchronization. Below we detail these aspects:
