They alter the rhythm of their speech to follow the characters’ lip flaps as the footage plays in front of them. The translators do their part for the actors by trying to write dialogue that has the same meaning as in the original language while keeping roughly the right number of syllables to match the lip flaps. It’s something of a team effort.
