English term or phrase: dialogue editor
Bonjour,

Savez-vous en français ce que l'on appelle en anglais dialogue editor dans le domaine du cinéma ?

Voici un peu de contexte, il s'agit de l'équipe technique d'un film :

ART DEPARTMENT
Francine Byrne - art department coordinator
Martin Charles - graphic designer
Rod Garvin - paint foreman
Michele Laliberte - art director
Elaine O'Donnell - set decorator
SOUND DEPARTMENT
Charles L. Campbell - supervising sound editor
Bruno Tarrière - sound re-recording mixer
Mildred Iatrou - dialogue editor
Derek Casari - adr engineer
SPECIAL EFFECTS BY
Louis Craig - special effects supervisor
Ron Rosegard - special effects assistant
Eric-André Paquin - special effects technician


Bien à vous,

Nicolas

French translation:monteur/euse de dialogues
Explanation:
This is the term I have most often encountered.
Do not, however, that FR credits often tend to refer to the operation, rather than the job, so we'd probably more often see 'montage de dialogues" (10× Ghits)

disagree  Tony M: It's a specific separate job, and if it is detailed in EN, then it also need to be details in FR. Sometimes the dialogue editing is indeed done by the 'sound editor'; but sometimes it is a separate discipline within the editing department.
