The translation of swear and taboo language for a Hispanic American audience is characterized by the use of neutral Spanish as a regulatory measure and stylistic restraints by giant audiovisual production companies to comply with the marketing standards of audiovisual products. This present article examines the translation techniques and softening strategies employed in the subtitling and dubbing of taboo and swear language expressions into Hispanic American Spanish in the film Dallas Buyers Club (2013). Furthermore, it discusses the characterization and use of taboo and swear language of the characters Ron Woodroof (main protagonist), a Texan cowboy identified with the Southern culture of the United States; and Rayon (co-star), a Southern transexual person, who also applies this type of language in a constant way during her interactions and conversations. By means of a taxonomic classification, the frequency of swear and taboo expressions are identified for the purpose of observing changes in the pejorative load within the target texts. Specifically, this study focuses on the translation and pragmatic functions of swear words fuck and shit, which are repeatedly used by the characters in their talking. Finally, this article aims to determine how the portrayal of both characters are represented in the subtitled and dubbed version after the translation of swear and taboo expressions.
