In English, a distinction exists between the designations "post-synchronization" and "automated dialogue replacement," where the former refers to the recording of sound and dialogue after shooting and the latter, specifically to the recording of dialogue after shooting. In French, the designation "postsynchronisation" is used to refer to the recording of both, regardless of whether the sound being recorded is dialogue or other auditory material. 8, record 1, English, - automated%20dialogue%20replacement
