日本語をわかれる人として、アニメはアメリカで一番部分は英語だけで見たいのは分かります。それから、アメリカで英語に翻訳しております。

If you don't understand the above, then you don't want raw episodes after all.

That Japanese is a travesty. I can only guess, but I suppose you meant something like アメリカ人は大体英語吹き替えのアニメしか見ないからアメリカだけに吹き替えされている

Word of the day, 吹き替える. TIL.

One question if you have a minute. Why is it アメリカだけに吹き替えされている instead of 英語だけに吹き替えされている?

That depends on the intent of the sentence, and the intent was only a guess of the GP. But you can analyze だけに in two ways:

英語に吹き替える to dub in English (the base case of 吹き替える)

英語だけに吹き替える to dub just in English (だけ + に)

アメリカだけに吹き替える to dub, just because it's America / as you'd expect of America (だけに grammar https://tanosuke.com/n2-dakeni)

Oooh I see, thanks!

Not the GP, but I watch all my anime raw (often enabling Japanese closed captions), and I struggle to understand the above...

Well, it's not really Japanese. It reminds me of myself as a doe-eyed freshman who took Japanese 101 and thought I was hot shit.

Those were the days.

わかる takes the が particle for what's known. You should use わかる instead of わかれる. わかれる usually means 分かれる. 一番部分 is not natural here, I don't know what you mean

Good luck in your studies.
