The question brings into play a whole matter about the nature of dialogue and the "diegesis," so to speak (kind of like how there is diegetic and non-diegetic music, or at times quasi-diegetic music that blends the two).
Yeah, I think what he meant is something like what we see at the beginning of The Hunt for Red October. Connery and crew are speaking Russian but after a while there is a transition and you can assume it's just a way to avoid subtitles but the characters are "still" speaking Russian. We just hear it in English.
On a side ntoe I must admit that I was surprised by Oscar Isaac. He speaks french very well.
... thanks for the example. I am not sure if that was the intention of the English dialogue in At Eternity's Gate, but it is something to consider.
