M&E

Also known as music and effects, M and E, international track.

A music-and-effects mix prepared without primary dialogue so localized dialogue can be added.

In practice

A complete M&E may require Foley or effects to replace sounds inseparable from production dialogue; distributors specify acceptable residual language and track layout.
