Foreign-language films that are not dubbed usually have the translated speeches displayed in writing, usually at the bottom of the screen. This also applies to other moving image productions, e.g. For example, the TV stations Arte or SRF regularly use subtitles in their German-language offerings.

In the area of ​​films, there is usually no German-language dubbing for works that serve an unusual genre, meet high artistic standards or supplement the main film as bonus material on electronic media . In these cases, the producers rate the effort as disproportionately high. At film festivals , films are generally presented in the OmU version. In the case of languages ​​with a smaller distribution area, one also finds popular films in versions with subtitles more frequently.
