IMDb now allows proper dubbing credits in seven languages. This matters because voice actors rely on visible credits to build careers (IMDb pages function a bit like industry resumés). Being listed means their work is acknowledged, searchable, verifiable. Most importantly, it recognizes dubbing as skilled performance, not background work. This is a real step forward.

But dubbing script writers and subtitlers should be included too. They're part of the creative work behind any localized version. Their writing shapes meaning and tone, just like voice actors shape performance. Leaving them out treats their contribution as invisible labor. If IMDb's goal is recognition and accurate professional records, these roles belong there.
