Also, I don't have too much experience with Czech dubbing in general but I do really appreciate that they localized some of the references in Simpsons episode titles (The Regina Monologues -> Obtěžoval jsem anglickou královnu, Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em -> Kladivo na Homera)

My friend is in a Ukrainian choir and the differences between how fourth-generation Ukrainian Christians and fourth generation Ukrainian-Jews talk about their heritage is fascinating (she says her goal as the latter is too convince the former that Ukraine is a multiethnic society).
