They still do that in Germany to every foreign language movie or series, to the point where it's impossible to get the original content legally. The sad truth is that although they usually do a good job synching the translation with facial movements, the finer nuances and sometimes the entire point of a scene are lost. On the other hand, they did probably manage to actually improve some very bad source material, but as a rule the quality goes dramatically downhill more often than not. There are also a lot of instances where the translation team didn't seem to completely understand the source material to begin with - it's all quite horrible.
