Like they match the general gist of each other but not very close.

Dubbing and Subtitling are two very different mediums.

People writing subtitles have much more liberty in translation, as their only restriction is the words the language has

Dubbing faces more restrictions. They have to often alter lines, or use weird prose to time the lines properly. Languages are built different, and different sentences take longer or shorter to say than their translations.

This is why people debate Dub vs Sub

Subs are typically more accurate.

Dubs can be more organic to watch
