Dubbing/Subtitling are integral part of cultural transfer between all countries.
Though the debate is always between preference of dubbing or subtitling each of it requires high level of artistic/technical input to ensure the final output is more local in every sense.

Dubbing brings more life to characters of a film than subtitles though a bad dubbed film can be a nightmare.
Most Scandivian countries prefer subtitling over dubbing but now it is most preferred also for Deaf community.

Same language subtitling(SLS) is one of essential way to educate people.

But wrong text/adaption can be deterrent to such process.

Closed-Captioning should also be made complusory in countries like India for the deaf/heard of hearing population.
