Offensive language is a recurring component in both daily communication and various audiovisual works. However, its translation in the audiovisual field presents challenges when adapting it to a language with marked sociocultural and linguistic differences. In this context, this study analyzes how offensive expressions were translated in the television series The Boys as it transitioned from English to Latin American Spanish, specifically in the realm of dubbing. This series was chosen as the subject of study due to the significant and continuous inclusion of offensive expressions throughout its episodes and seasons. The research is based on both empirical and theoretical sources related to offensive language, dubbing, science fiction, character characterization, and audiovisual translation. Using a categorization of taboo language, the offensive expressions in the original English dubbing and their translation into Latin American Spanish are identified and classified (Fuentes-Luque, 2014). Furthermore, translation strategies and techniques, such as euphemisms, omissions, and circumlocution, are analyzed, as these are common translation procedures due to the cultural and linguistic peculiarities of Latin American Spanish. Likewise, this research will evaluate the influence of dubbing on the characterization of the characters. Finally, this work aims to contribute to the understanding of the translation of offensive language in the field of dubbing of audiovisual productions and to analyze the challenges that arise when adapting content for audiovisual productions.
