Differences

  • There are several differences in the theme song.[16]
    • The theme song has lyrics. (The lyrics roughly translate to "Hey, sing, uncle / A waterfall and a river filled with water / A happy, healthy family / The waterfall is attractive / And the adventures are interesting / And the air [or possibly "educational stories"] full of joy, full of laughter / Come on, the cartoon has started / Sit down and watch")[17][18][15]
    • The frame of Bill Cipher does not flash on the screen at the end.

Differences

  • All English text is read out loud by a lector, or sometimes by a present character whose mouth happens to be off screen at the time.
    • This includes the show's title at the end of the opening sequence, which makes it difficult to hear the whispers, which are most likely either missing or left untranslated, as all of the cryptograms are left in English.
    • This practice is common in Polish adaptations of foreign shows.
  • The town of Gravity Falls is called "Wodogrzmoty Małe," which can be translated as "Small Waterthunders," but it's referred to as just "Wodogrzmoty" most of the time.

  • Character names:
    • Grunkle Stan is called "Wujek Stanek (Uncle Stan)," and is Dipper and Mabel's uncle, rather than great uncle.
    • Instead of using her name, Dipper sometimes refers to Mabel as "sister" (the English word), which doesn't mean anything in Polish. Mabel sometimes calls Dipper "braciszek" (little brother), as well, as she also rarely uses the English word "brother" to refer to him. This no longer happens in Season 2.

    • Lazy Susan is called "Leniwa Klucha," which means "Lazy Dumpling."

  • Episode and short names:
    • "Carpet Diem" is just called "Dywan," meaning "Carpet."
    • "The Deep End" is called "Na samym dnie," meaning "At the very bottom."

    • The "Mabel's Scrapbook" shorts are referred to as "Album Mabel," meaning "Mabel's Album."
    • "Mabel's Scrapbook: Petting Zoo," is called "Album Mabel: Wyprawa do zoo," meaning, "Mabel's Album: A Trip to the Zoo."
  • In the first few episodes, the town's name is left untranslated.
  • In Polish there are two different words for nephews and nieces - from the sister's side (siostrzeniec) and from the brother's side (bratanek). Dipper and Mabel are from Stan's sister's side.
  • In "Legend of the Gobblewonker," Stan's joke is different. He says, "My wife was knitting, but then a tramway rode over her and she fell!" The joke is that the word "to knit" literally means "to make wires on," and tramways are usually on some sort of wires.[1][2]
  • Smile Dip is called "Halunki," which means "magic mushrooms" or "hallucinations" in Polish slang.
  • In the episode "The Inconveniencing," Dipper admits to being 10 years old, rather than 12. The change was deployed due to Polish numbers. In Polish, numbers ended by "naście" (fourteen - czternaście) start from eleven and above. The twins couldn't be twelve (twelve - dwanaście) because they would be "teens" (in Polish - nastolatki) already. In the rest of the episodes, Dipper and Mabel are still twelve.
  • In "Dreamscaperers," there is no backwards message from Gideon when he is summoning Bill Cipher.
  • In "A Tale of Two Stans," there is backwards message from McGucket but he doesn't say "Bill Cipher Triangle".
