Are British films translated from British English to American English when they are showed in America?

No.

 I saw a TV commercial while I was in London that was redubbed with a British voice, though.

Some books are edited as well.

 Not usually, though subtitles are sometimes provided where strongly dialectical English is used ["Trainspotting" was subtitled]
