There's many people who watch only dubs, and it would be nice to know if anime has dub version. It could simply say yes or no or listing the company and voice actors involved. Also would be nice if there were separate news section for dub releases.

Sorry if this was suggested before already, but since it wasn't implemented i thought i bring this up.

Having to look through all of the dubs that have ever been made and adding them would be way more work than it's worth. The fact that a dub has been made and a dub still being available are different things, though. Some dubs are only released on TV and unless someone records them that means the show becomes sub only for anyone watching after it aired.

English and Japanese aren't the only languages. Most of MAL's userbase doesn't speak English as their first language.

Yeah, this has been suggested regularly since forever. Apparently MAL is planning to implement this change.... and has been planning that since 2014(?). Basically, it's not going to happen.

Too much of the userbase (and presumably the staff) has the stereotypical anti-dub weeb autism. To be a REAL anime fan (which is super-important, for some reason) you have to read anime, instead of listening to it in your native language, like Japanese audiences do, and like creators intend it to be seen. I mean, it's not like this is an English-language website or anything...

You can try using MAL-Dubs (Thread: [Userscript] MAL Dubs). It's a usercript, though.
