    I always wonder how spelling bee scenes in shows get translated when dubbed into other languages. Maybe they’re turned into some other kind of academic competition?

    Anyone have any insight?

      It’s just still a spelling bee. They’ll find some fitting term to call it and that’s that. Everyone knows the show is set in a different country anyways. The concept is intuitive enough, even if it’d be very easy in most languages.
