Can it be listed for non-english dialogued films, exactly how the english conversion is effected, i.e., DUBBED or SUBTITLED? I miss out on a lot of foreign films because my wife's eye problems preclude her reading subtitled movies.

I do not believe IMDb consistently indicates whether a foreign language film is dubbed or subtitled.
One way of telling is to look at the cast list and alternate versions. For instance in Princess Mononoke (1997) [Mononoke-hime (original title)] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119698/c...) some of the cast have the designation "voice: English version", which clearly indicates that the film is dubbed. The Alternate Versions page for Princess Mononoke (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119698/a...) provides additional information regarding dubbing.

Although isn't that kind of credit for the American dubbing?
Thank you, all of you, for your comments. I shall make a list of sites to check whenever this becomes a concern in the future.

Yes, there are probably a number of sites which track accessibility issues like this. If IMDB make this easier to add, hopefully, you'll be able to chip in and help with adding the information.
