There are two episodes that do not dubs into Malay, "So Many Birthdays" and "Joking Victim". It was replaced with Indonesian dubs. It is weird because there is no dubs for Indonesian in Indonesia.

Japan
Steven Universe aired in Japan on June 1, 2014. In addition to the inclusion of on-screen lyrics during the theme song, the hard cuts that end the intro and begin the episode title in the English version are replaced with fades, and the end credits sequence is extended slightly to include credits for the Japanese dubbing cast and staff.

The names are unchanged. In the Japanese katakana script, they are written:
 * スティーブン (Steven)
 * ガーネット (Garnet)
 * アメジスト (Amethyst)
 * パール (Pearl)

If the Gems' names were translated into the Japanese language, they would be:


 * 柘榴石 (Romaji Zakuroishi): Garnet


 * 紫水晶 (Romaji: Murasakizuishou): Amethyst


 * 真珠 (Romaji: Shinju): Pearl

Theme song
Literal Translation:

Tada!

We are the Crystal Gems!

Romaji version
The literal translation is:

"Tada! / We are the Crystal Gems!/ We protect this world!/ No matter the time!/ We'll definitely save you!/ So... don't worry about anything!/ Leave it to.../ Garnet! Amethyst! Pearl... and me, Steven!"

Turkey
Steven Universe aired in Turkey on June 2, 2014. Garnet's, Pearl's and Amethyst's names were translated to Turkish as Lal (mobile games, originally Garnet), İnci and Ametist.

Thailand
Steven Universe aired in Thailand in 2014.

The names are unchanged. In Thai script, they are transliterated as:
 * การ์เน็ต (Kār̒nĕt)
 * แอเมทิสต์ (Xæmethis̄t̒)
 * เพิร์ล (Pheir̒l)
 * สตีเว่น (S̄tīwèn)

Israel
Steven Universe airs on the cable and satellite channel "The Kids' Channel" (ערוץ הילדים) in Israel on the Cartoon Network Block.

The names in the Hebrew dub appear to be not changed but copying phonetically from English.
 * גרנט (Garnet)
 * אמטיסט (Amethyst)
 * פרל (Pearl)
 * סטיבן (Steven)

Theme song
Translated, the Hebrew dubbed intro has a very unnoticable difference from the original:

We, we're the Crystal Gems / We save the situation / And if you think we aren't able to / We always find the way / That's why all the people believe in / Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, and Steven.

The fact that the intro was translated almost literally down to every word from the original is very unbearable for most Israelis or fluent Hebrew speakers, since it may be grammatically wrong to say it the way it is attributed here.

Hindi
Steven Universe also has a translation into Hindi.

Theme song
Possible translation:

"The Crystal Gems/ Help you if you're in peril*/ And there is no problem/ That has no solution!/ That's why all the world, today, trusts in/ Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven!"

* The closest to a literal translation is "if you are bad", meaning "if you are in a bad situation" or "if you are feeling bad". The linking verb "estás" is translated as "to be", but relates to a current, recent and short term status, not the cronic status led by the translation.

France
The French version of Steven Universe airs on Cartoon Network France / Belgique / Suisse every Sunday with a rerun every Saturday.

Theme song
Literal translation:

"We, the Crystal Gems/ We save the whole world / You need to trust us / We'll do anything to succeed in that! / That's why here everyone* believes in us / Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, and Steven!"

* Literally "all the world".

Theme song
The literal translation is:

"We are the Crystal Gems / the knights in shining armor / Even if you don't believe us, / we bring it into balance / So everyone in the world might love us / Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and Steven!"

Theme song
Literal translation:

"We are the magical guardians,/ we save the world all the time!/ It isn't always easy,/ but we'll figure out a way!/ That's why the people on this earth believe/ in Garnet, and Amethyst, and Pearl, and Steven!"

Theme song
Literal Translation:

"We are the Crystal Gems, / we have the solution, / against every ill, / with determination we'll defend the world that, / already believes in / Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, and Steven!"
