* Until well into UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks, this was pretty standard for foreign or immigrant characters of any kind, even if they were heroes. Take Mademoiselle Marie, a [[LaResistance French Resistance fighter]] in a series of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII adventures put out by DC in the 1950s. Marie was an ActionGirl and looked every bit the part with her tight skirt, [[SexySweaterGirl even tighter sweater]], bright red beret, and Sten gun - but all this was undercut somewhat because the letterer insisted on writing ''all'' of her lines as if they were being spoken by Pepe Le Pew.

* Toward the end of Helen Hunt Jackson's ''Ramona'', a family of Tennessee mountain folk shows up (somewhat inexplicably) in Southern California just a few years after the Mexican War. They speak English in a "hillbilly" dialect, which Jackson renders by wildly misspelling almost every single word out of their mouths, making their speech difficult even for English-speaking readers to follow and comprehension for the Spanish-speaking characters in the novel (who know only a little English) all but impossible. Fortunately, one of the Tennesseeans can speak Spanish and acts as interpreter for both parties. But since ''Ramona'' is for the most part a monolingual novel with the odd Spanish phrase salted in, when the translator speaks English he does so in the hillbilly dialect, but when he speaks Spanish it comes out as perfect English - thus combining this trope with TranslationConvention!
