Answer 1

That depends on the translators and the movie narrative. One way to solve it is to translate it into another language. For example in a French version of an English movie the French language sections might be spoken in English or German. It is also possible to just ignore the problem and expect the audience to understand the situation, this can sometimes be seen in untranslated movies as well.
