Voice-over translation, or known as just a voice-over, is an audiovisual translation technique in which, unlike in dubbing, actor voices are recorded over the original audio track which can be heard in the background.

This method of translation is most often used in documentaries and news reports to translate words of foreign-language interviewees in countries where subtitling is not necessarily the norm. This method is also commonly used to translate foreign movies and TV shows in some countries, most notably in Eastern Europe, Mongolia, and Vietnam.
