Anarchic general "throw whatever info you can find" list for Toho SPFX films in languages aside from English and German (the standard being they're the only two tongues I know of that you can watch all the Godzilla films dubbed in some way as of 2013). I'll probably skip over a bunch of obvious versions that we know existed but we have like zero info other than the country of origin.
Godzilla
- Spanish theatrical version (records say it was uncut, November 5th, 1956, lost)
- French theatrical version (92 minutes, March 14th, 1957), distributed by Les Films du Verseau. - Interesting fully dubbed hybrid of Toho cut and footage shot for Godzilla, King of the Monsters, attributed to Bruno Guillaume and Michael Gast. Semi-extensive re-editing and altered story details through dialog (Ogata is now Dr. Yamane's student, Steve Martin works for the "New York Herald" out of New York instead of United World News in Chicago, etc.). Dubbing performed at Studios "S.I.M.", Foley directed by Robert Noël.
- Spanish video dub - Originally released by Filmax on tape in 1998. M&E-less.
- Catalan video dub (no M&E stems used) - Date of release unknown.
- Mandarin VCD dub (in all probability M&E-less) - Date of release unknown. Shortened by ten minutes.
- Alleged recent Latin American Spanish dub for TV.
Godzilla, King of the Monsters
- Italian theatrical version simply titled Godzilla (April 5th, 1957) - Adds new opening credits against stock footage of scenes from later in the film with an ominous wind sound effect as background noise. Has few noteworthy M&E differences.
- Colorized 1977 Italian reissue also titled Godzilla (more commonly known as "Cozzilla"). No real explanation needed.
- Assorted posters and advertising materials from different New World Spanish speaking countries exist (including Mexico, Cuba, and Argentina). Most of these also seem to be associated in some way with Paramount like the original Italian release.
- Fabled Filipino Tokyo 1960 Godfrey Ho-ization cut of the film. Stock footage of the Eiko-Maru sinking presumably from this cut reappears in Anak ng Bulkan, another Filipino monster flick.
Half Human
A???
Godzilla Raids Again
- French theatrical version, Le retour de Godzilla (October 17th, 1957, lost), distributed by Les Films du Verseau. There's a French photo novel of the film that may or may not have been based on this version.
- Spanish theatrical version, El Rey de Los Monstruos (1959, lost)
- Mexican theatrical version of Gigantis, the Fire Monster (1959?, lost)
- Italian theatrical version, Il re dei mostri (1960) - Mostly complete dub and opening/closing visuals available on DVD in Italy from Sinister Film.
- Spanish video dub (no M&E stems used) - Released by Filmax on tape in 1998
Rodan
- French theatrical version of King Brothers cut (October, 1958)
- Italian theatrical version of King Brothers cut, Rodan, il mostro alato, distributed by RKO.
- Italian reissue version. Uses the strange, disastrously poor approximation of the King Brothers cut made using the uncut Toho version also used for the contemporary German reissue. Distributed by Ardin Cinematografica.
- Later Italian video/TV dub of the Toho cut made in the '80s/'90s. This is what the crappy DVD version uses. Uses a M&E track.
- Spanish theatrical version of King Brothers cut, retitled Los Hijos del Volcan.
- Spanish video/TV dub (dubbed around 1998 with the rest of the Godzillas) - Uses a M&E track.
- Mandarin VCD dub (in all probability M&E-less)
- M&E-less Mandarin language theatrical version of Toho cut originating in the mid-'70s to early-'80s (most likely from Taiwan, 76 minutes), entitled Bloodthirsty Hawk. Notable for pilfering some music from John Williams' score for Jaws among cues from other pictures. Released on video in 1994 by World Video & Supply Inc. in various Chinese speaking markets.
- Alleged recent Latin American Spanish dub for TV.
The Mysterians
- French theatrical version of RKO cut, Prisonnières des Martiens (October, 1959) - Ending credits are edited differently (the full Japanese sequence with the Earth at the end is shown, the sound effects from the opening sequence replace the music track oddly), and there's some dubbing credits at the end (see gallery).
- Italian theatrical version of RKO cut (1959) - Don't know much about the visuals that accompanied this version.
- Mexican theatrical version, Misterios del espacio (lost)
- Argentine advertising materials for Los bárbaros invaden la Tierra exist.
- French TV dub (uncut, 1990) - Mysterians are renamed "Martians" in this version, unlike the misleadingly titled but accurately dubbed theatrical version. Henry Okawa's bad Japanese English is replaced with bad French English. There are a few noticeable added sound effects in places.
- Latino Spanish video dub (2005, I'll probably list the cast from the Media Blasters DVD here later).
The H-Man
- Latin American Spanish theatrical or television dub recorded in unknown country.
- French theatrical version of Columbia edit (June, 1959). TV versions have video generated French title card alongside the English credits.
- Italian theatrical version of Columbia edit (1959). TV version containing this dub has badly done video generated title card and English credits.
Varan
Pfffft.
Battle in Outer Space
- Italian theatrical Columbia version, Inferno nella stratosfera - Is missing the added "spooky" moon sound effects the German dub also lacks. Has no music during the moon battles but keeps the English final battle music (by fading between the music-less dubbing track and the fully mixed English I guess), and has the Japanese ending cue like the German dub.
- French and Belgian theatrical version, Bataille interplanétaire (November, 1961). Never released on video.- Weird ass French TV dub of Columbia version made in the '90s/'00s that's both M&E-less in the traditional sense, but manages to sneak in Japanese moon battle music and ending music from a fully mixed source(?). Fairly difficult to explain in minimal detail.
- Latin American Spanish TV/video dub recorded in Puerto Rico. M&E-less.
The Human Vapor
- Bizarre Italian television version, Una nube di terrore (The Cloud of Terror). Date of exact release is unknown. Is a strange hybrid of the editing and narrative of the U.S. Brenco Pictures version, but has Kunio Miyauchi's original score and keeps a newspaper headline that's translated in the U.S. version in Japanese.
Mothra
- French and Belgian theatrical version (November, 1963, lost)- Mexican advertising materials for Mothra, la indestructible exist.
- It's worth noting that Toho offered the Columbia edit in one of their sales brochures.
- Latin American Spanish dub recorded in Puerto Rico sometime in the 2000s.
- M&E-less Brazilian Portuguese dub of Columbia edit entitled A Deusa Selvagem exists.
The Last War
- '80s French video dub of U.S. Brenco Pictures cut, La Dernière Guerre de l'Apocalypse. M&E stems from uncut Toho version used.
- '80s Italian television dub. Availability unknown.
Varan the Unbelievable
- Mexican advertising materials for Varan el increible exist.
Gorath
- '80s French video dub of the U.S. Brenco Pictures/Heritage TV cut, Le choc des planètes. Uses original Toho cut M&E stems. (For example, the ending music is Kan Ishii's original cue from the Japanese version, not the tracked in theme from The Last War that is heard in the U.S. version).
- '80s Italian television dub. Available synced to the Toho cut on DVD.
King Kong vs. Godzilla
- Lost early Asian Toho cut releases include Taiwanese theatrical version (金剛鬥恐龍, lit. King Kong vs. Dinosaur), Thai theatrical version baring a similar Chinese title on posters (金剛大戦恐龍), and a supposed South Korean version.
- Mexican advertising materials for King Kong contra Godzilla circa 1969 exist.
- French theatrical version of international John Beck/Peter Zinner cut (July 7th, 1976), distributed by Sofradis Film with dubbing directed by André Chelossi. Makes further cuts towards the beginning of the film. At least the dinner scene is known to be missing from all copies. Dubs the Faro Island Chief for a number of lines and also dubs Chikiro's mother.
- Italian theatrical version of John Beck cut, Il Trionfo di King Kong (1976, uncut). Unknown if theatrical version had Italian language credits or not (TV rip uses an English film source).
- Spanish theatrical version of John Beck cut (December 26th, 1978, uncut), distributed by Universal's Spanish subdivision, Universal Films Española, S.A., dubbed at Arcofon-Doyson in Madrid. Entire cast list can be viewed here: http://www.eldoblaje.com/datos/FichaPelicula.asp?id=21314
- M&E-less Spanish video re-dub, probably made in the '80s or 90s.- 15 minute long Dutch 8mm highlight reels of John Beck cut, Het Monster van Fao Eiland and Godzila (sic).
- Also, it's worth noting that all European JB copies can be traced to a master foreign film source because of a number of recognizable blemishes that appear in certain shots (one such occurrence of unique damage is the shot of Godzilla emerging from the iceberg). Likewise, most versions forget to properly color grade some of the shifted scenes to day-for-night in the re-editing.
- Laughably poor M&E-less Thai video dub released on DVD and VCD by E.V.S. in 2005. Uses the Japanese DVD as a basis, but edits out Mr. Tako's introduction and cuts straight to the first Seahawk segment after the credits.

- French TV dub made in the '90s.

Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster
- Mexican theatrical version, Ghidra! Monstruo de 3 cabezas! (August 17th, 1967, lost)
- It's worth noting Toho has on hand a Spanish subtitled release print of the U.S. version that may or may not be related to this release.
- Argentine theatrical version, Ghidrah - El monstruo de tres cabezas (lost)
- Brazilian theatrical version, Ghidrah, el monstruo tricéfalo (lost)

- Mexican Spanish home video dub. M&E-less. Dialogue similar to English and Castilian dubs.
- A M&E-less Chinese VCD dub exists. Not sure if it's Mandarin or Cantonese.

- Italian theatrical version of AIP cut - Dub available on DVD
Monster Zero
- French theatrical version, Invasion Planète X (90 minutes, January 27th, 1967), Distributed by AudiFilm. - Dubbed at E.D.P.S., with dubbing directed by Michel Luckin. Released on VHS in 1982 by Topodis Video. Planet X is translated as the more astronomically accurate Satellite X in this dub, but the dub also mistranslates Jupiter as Saturn. Rodan is also referred to by his Japanese name, Radon (which also appears in the export trailer). The bits with X Alien language are also translated in this version. Cuts at least the extended Diet conference scene after the P-1's initial return to Earth, but the print used for the Topodis tape is so heavily spliced and damaged, the runtime is reduced much further. First known instance of the "Godziya" pronunciation in the French dubs.
- Mexican theatrical version, La invasión de los Astromonstruos (May 23rd, 1968, lost) - Alternate Mexican publicity material for the film under the title Monstruos de las Galaxias exist.

- French theatrical version, La Planète des monstres (March 1st, 1978), distributed by Cosmopolis Films and Rex International Distribution. Dubbed at DR Films with dubbing directed by André Chelossi and written by P. Severac.

- Spanish theatrical version, (November 4th, 1979, lost)
- M&E-less Spanish video dub done in the '80s or '90s. Uses an Italian reissue print for the picture, splices and all. One has to wonder the amount of translational generation loss heard in this version, from Japanese, to English, to Italian, and finally to Castilian Spanish.
- Filmax Castilian Spanish dub, 1998.
- Latin American Spanish dub recorded in Mexico in the 2000s.
Destroy All Monsters

- Taiwanese video version, 擊滅日本國 - Low budget M&E-less Mandarin dub issued on tape(?) and DVD by Power Multimedia around 1999, in which Godzilla is referred to as Kǒnglóng ("dinosaur"). Uses some sort of pan and scan Japanese TV version for the picture (some Russian subtitles are video generated). Film suffers 13 minutes of cuts.
