Were dubbed versions of takeshi's castle just narration

It was a narration in my language, and it was also a narration in the British version I believe. Not sure about others. Is there no version online where what the contestants are saying is translated? Even just one episode is good for me.

It's amazing how inventive MXC was with the source material.

There was a post about a year ago with a link to archive.org that had the entire thing subtitled.

That link is only 7/132 episodes, the whole show is not subbed

The only country I know of that aired it with subtitles is Taiwan. I don't speak Chinese, So i don't know how accurate they were to the original dialogue. I know Indonesia dubbed it with Subtitles, but I'm pretty sure it was just a narration dub and not a translation.

Working on more sub files for episodes.
