Completely Different Title / Spanish

Happens pretty often in Spanish speaking countries for a lot of different reasons. It may be due to the original title not having the same meaning in Spanish when translated directly, to copyright reasons, to marketing reasons, and everything in between.

Also, they often get two different titles: one for the Spainiard market and one for that of the Americas.

Anime & Manga

• More a tweak than an actual change, but Attack on Titan became El ataque de los titanes (The Attack of the Titans) in Mexico and Ataque a los titanes ("Attack Against the Titans" or "Attack to the Titans") in Spain.
• Blue Submarine No. 6 became simply as Blue Six in Latin America.
• Captain Tsubasa became Supercampeones in Mexico. Elsewhere, it became Oliver y Benji (called Campeones during the early 90's in Spain), because Tsubasa Oozora and Genzou Wakabayashi's names became Oliver Atton and Benji Price.^note This Dub Name Change came from the French translation, which was the version the Spanish one was translated from. This practice was pretty common in anime in Spain during the late 80s and early 90s This is finally averted in the 2018 series, when it keeps the original name, along with the subtitle "La Leyenda Regresa" (The Legend Returns), which in all honesty makes no sense given that Supercampeones is the name that's more recognizable with Latin Americans.
• Casshern Sins became Los pecados de Casshern (Casshern's Sins or The Sins of Casshern) in Latin America, ignoring the "Sins" part is supposed to be a separated word.
• Charger Girl became Las chicas recargadoras (The Charging Girls) in Latin America. The name could be a pun from the Latin American name of The Powerpuff Girls (Las chicas superpoderosas).
• Children of the Sea became Espiritus del mar (Spirits from the Sea) in Latin America.
• Dance in the Vampire Bund became Bailando con vampiros ("Dancing With Vampires") in Latin America. The name can be a wordplay from the Spanish name of Dances with Wolves (Bailando con lobos).
• Delicious in Dungeon became Tragones y Mazmorras (literaly, "Gluttons & Dragons", in context) in both Latin America and Spain. The name is an elaborated pun from the European Spanish name of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, known as "Dragones y Mazmorras" in Spain. The name is also used in Latin America, despite that franchise is known there as Calabozos y dragones instead.
• Destiny of the Shrine Maiden became La sacerdotisa de octubre (The October's Priestess) in Latin America, which is a more or less literal translation of the original Japanese name.
• Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro had different names in some Spanish-speaking regions:
  • In Argentina, it became No me jodas, Nagatoro. While the name means more or less the same in the Argentinian dialect, it also means, both in Argentina and also in other Spanish dialects as "Don't Fuck with Me, Nagatoro". Hilariously enough, the Argentinian name was decided thanks to a poll did by the local publisher of the manga, Ivrea.
  • In Spain, however, the name was translated as "No me rayes, Nagatoro", which is a more or less polite version of the same phrase used in Spain, despite being published by the same publisher, due possibly to legal reasons regarding the use of profanity.
  • In Mexico and the rest of Latin America, it became No me molestes, Nagatoro, which is a even more literal translation, while also avoiding using the term bullying, as it doesn't had a valid translation in Spanish.^note It literally means "Don't bother/bug me, Nagatoro", but "molestar" is normally used as the closest equivalent to "bullying", through normally used by more older generations, as well to avoid both using Gratuitous English and also using a term that both Mexicans and other Latin Americans could understand.
  • On the other hand, the animated adaptation use the international English name in all regions.
• The Elusive Samurai: The Spanish title Héroe Fugitivo ("Fugitive Hero") is an imperfect translation of the original Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi, which specifically refers to a young noble ("wakagimi") who is skilled at escaping or fleeing ("nige jouzo").

• Fireworks became Luces en el cielo (Lights in the Sky) in Latin America.
• Grimoire of Zero became La bruja y la bestia (The Witch and the Beast) in Spain.
• Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat, while not an extreme change, became El príncipe pervertido y el gato de piedra (The Perverted Prince and the Stone Cat) in Latin America, which is closer to the international name.
• Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair is "Dulce Jana" ("Sweet Jana").
• Kamisama Kiss becomes Soy una diosa ¿y ahora qué? ("I'm a Goddess, and Now What?") in Latin America.
• Kamui Den became Kamui, el ninja desertor (Kamui The Runaway Ninja) in Latin America.
• Magic Knight Rayearth became Las Guerreras Mágicas, or "The Magical Warriors" (with a female appellation) in Latin America. This was also the characters' formal title whenever their role as "Magic Knights" was referred to in dialogue.

• The Sacred Blacksmith became La espada sagrada ("The Sacred Sword") in both Spain and Latin America.
• Saint Seiya became Los Caballeros del Zodíaco ("The Knights of the Zodiac") in both Spain and Latin America.
• While not being a very drastic change, The Seven Deadly Sins became Los siete pecados capitales (The Seven Capital Sins) in both Latin America and Spain, which the sins are known as in The Bible.
• Shin Mazinger became El magnifico Mazinger Z: Edición Impacto (The Magnificient Mazinger Z: Impact Edition) in Latin America, and just Mazinger Z: Edición Impacto in Spain.

• Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is quite a complicated case in Latin America: Officially speaking, the animated adaptation is called by Crunchyroll by its English name, but in the Latin American Spanish dub, at least in-series, the series is called either Bienvenidos a la escuela de demonios, which is the literal translation of the English name, without the "Iruma-kun" part, or Bienvenidos a la escuela demoniaca (lit. "Welcome to Demonic School"). In the Argentinian Spanish translation of the manga, however, it was named as Iruma-kun en la escuela de demonios (lit. "Iruma-kun in the School of Demons").
• The manga What the Font?! – A Manga Guide to Western Typeface is known in Spain as "Tipos de interés''. The name is an elaborate pun: Normally, it means "Interest Rates", but in context, it also means "Interesting Typography" or "Interesting People".
• Yamato Takeru became Maxbot in Latin America.

Since titles don't have context of their own, most people assume it means the latter. However, the English title was kept as a The Foreign Subtitle.
  • In Latin America, it became Intensa Mente as a double pun: mente is Spanish for mind, but is also a suffix to denote an adverb. Therefore, Intensa Mente means "Intense Mind", evoking all the emotions in Riley's head, and "Intensamente", or "Intensely", for how strongly she feels them.

• Airplane!:
  • Renamed ¿Y dónde está el piloto? ("So where is the pilot?") in Latin America. This crept unto other Leslie Nielsen films, like The Naked Gun being called ¿Y dónde está el policia?

  • In Spain it's Aterriza como puedas ("Land as you can" - or "if you can").

In the Americas, however, where the novel was more popular there, both films were given the same title as their source novel (La laguna azul).
• The Blues Brothers became "Los Hermanos Caradura" ("The Stone-Faced Brothers") in Latin America (the European Spanish translation just gave it The Foreign Subtitle instead). Probably because Jake and Elwood Blues take the craziness going on around them in stride.

• One of the most well-known examples in Spain is Die Hard.
  • The title is impossible to translate directly into Spanish, so it was called La jungla de cristal ("The Crystal Jungle") instead. The title made sense for the first film, which is set in a skyscraper, but not so much for the rest of the series, so they had to adapt it as the films came out. Whether this is a case of Woolseyism or "Blind Idiot" Translation is a topic of fierce debate in Spain.

• Goodfellas became Uno de los nuestros ("One of Us") in Spain.
• Grave of the Vampire became The Terror Baby.
• The 1946 film adaptation of Great Expectations was translated under the title Cadenas rotas ("Broken Chains") in Spain. Perhaps the distributor forgot that the novel was already translated into Spanish with a straight translation (Grandes esperanzas).

• The Love Bug films are normally renamed in Latin America as Cupido motorizado (Motor Cupid).
• The Latin American Spanish title for Mad Max: Fury Road is "Mad Mad: Furia En El Camino". "Fury Road" would actually translate as "Camino De Furia" (it's even said as such when Nux says the Title Drop), the Latin American title instead is "Fury On The Road (or more laconically, "Road Rage")".
• The Martian is called "Misión Rescate" ("Rescue Mission") in Latin America. Many people who were waiting for the movie to release were blindsided when told it had been out for weeks already because of this. In Spain it's Marte (The Martian) (giving the title as "Mars").

• The Parent Trap is Tú a Londres y yo a California ("You Go to London and I Go to California") in Spain and "Juego de Gemelas" Latin America. The latter is also a pun, in that "Juego" can mean either a game or a set (as in, a collection), and both "Game of Twins" and "Set of Twins" are both viable, humorous titles.

• Rat Race was called El mundo está loco, loco in Spanish. This is a Shout-Out to the fact that Rat Race is actually a remake of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, as that film had a literal translation into Spanish: El mundo está Loco, Loco, Loco.
• Real Steel is Gigantes de Acero ("Steel Giants") in Latin America amd Acero puro ("Pure Steel") in Spain, much closer to the original meaning.
• The Revenant became El renacido (The Reborn One)^note "Revenant" doesn't have a direct translation in Spanish.
• Rosemary's Baby gets comprehensively spoilered in Spain by the title La semilla del diablo ("The devil's seed").
• RV got the title "Locas Vacaciones Sobre Ruedas (Crazy Vacation On Wheels)" in Latin America.
• Saving Mr. Banks is El sueño de Walt Disney ("Walt Disney's Dream") in Latin America and Al encuentro de Mr. Banks ("Looking for Mr. Banks" or, more literally, "[Going] To meet Mr. Banks").
• Scrooged is called "The Ghosts Attack the Boss" in Spain, and "The Ghosts Counter-attack" in Latin America (which turns the title into an Actor Allusion because of Bill Murray's role in Ghostbusters (1984)).
• The Searchers is Centauros del Desierto ("Centaurs of the Desert") in Spain.
• See No Evil, Hear No Evil is Ciegos, sordos y locos ("Blind, Deaf and Insane") in Latin America and "No me chilles, que no te veo" ("Don't yell at me, I can't see you") in Spain.
• A good chunk of Seltzer and Friedberg movies got this treatment:
  • Meet the Spartans is Casi 300 ("Almost 300") in Spain and Una loca película de Esparta ("A crazy movie about Sparta") in Latin America.
  • Epic Movie is Una loca película épica ("A crazy Epic Movie") in Latin America.
  • Date Movie is No es otra película de amor ("This is not another Love Movie") in Latin America.
  • Vampires Suck is Una loca película de vampiros ("A crazy movie about vampires") in Latin America and Híncame el diente ("Sink your teeth in me", or less literally, "Bite Me") in Spain.
• The Seven Year Itch is La tentación vive arriba ("Temptation Lives Up") in Spain.
• Sexy Beast is Bestia salvaje ("Wild Beast") in the Americas.
• Shin Godzilla became Godzilla Resurge (Roughly translated as "Godzilla Rises Again") in Latin America, albeit the original name is used as well.
• Some Like It Hot is Con faldas y a lo loco ("With skirts and like crazy") in Spain and Una Eva y dos Adanes ("An Eve for Two Adams") in the Americas.
• Spaceballs gets this treatment to an absurd degree. Although the titular villains are called astrobolas, which translates to astroballs, in Latin America the title is "S.O.S. Hay un Loco Suelto en el Espacio," which translates to S.O.S. There's a Crazy Person/Madman loose in Space, or "La Guerra de los Esfericos" (The War of the Spherics, the titular Spaceballs are named "Esfericos" in the dub) while in Spain it's known as La loca historia de las galaxias which translates to The Crazy History of the Galaxies, likely a combination play on ''Guerra de las Galaxias'' and Mel Brooks's own La Loca Historia del Mundo.
• St. Elmo's Fire got the odd name of El primer año del resto de nuestras vidas (The First Year of the Rest of Our Lives) in Latin America, and St. Elmo, punto de encuentro (St. Elmo, Meeting Point) in Spain.
• Another very well known example is Star Wars, known in both Spain and Latin America as La guerra de las galaxias ("War of the Galaxies"). However, the title was dropped since the prequels started to come out, using the English title instead to refer to the franchise. Although La guerra de las galaxias is still used in some promotional material to refer to A New Hope specifically. This was brilliantly spoofed in an episode of Futurama, when a fictional movie is shown with the title Galaxy War and the Latino Spanish dub translated it as Guerra de Estrellas ("Star Wars").
  • While most individual films have been translated literally, The Force Awakens was shuffled around to switch verb and subject: instead of "La Fuerza Despierta", it was changed to a more evocative "El Despertar de la Fuerza" ("The Awakening of the Force").
  • In Zack and Miri Make a Porno, the porn spoof "Star Whores" is called La Guarra de las Galaxias ("The Slut of the Galaxies").
• Straight Outta Compton became Letras explicitas (Explicit Lyrics) in Mexico and Chile, a very controversial change for many viewers.
• Supersonic Man became The Supersonic in Peru.
• Taken is Búsqueda implacable ("Implacable Search") in Latin America and Venganza ("Revenge") in Spain.
  • Whether this is a distant allusion to Frantic, which was retitled "Búsqueda Frenética" ("Frantic Search"), is up in the air.
• Teenagers from Outer Space became Space Rebels.
• They Shoot Horses, Don't They? is Danzad, danzad, malditos ("Dance, dance, you damned!") in Spain and Baile de ilusiones ("Dance of illusions") in the Americas. Its source novel, however, got a straight translation (¿Acaso no matan a los caballos?).
• Total Recall (1990) is El vengador del futuro ("The Future's Avenger") in Latin America and Desafío total ("Total Challenge") in Spain. The semantic structure of the former title is ambiguous as to whether it means "an avenger from the future" or "someone who avenges the future".
• Trancers:
  • Spain: The Guardian of the Future
  • Mexico: Zombie Hunter
• Train to Busan:
  • Argentina: Zombie Invasion
  • The rest of Latin America: Zombie Station
• Tropic Thunder became Una guerra de pelicula (A Very Movie-like War) in Latin America and Una guerra muy perra (A Very Bitchy War) in Spain. Even the movies-within-the-movies had different names as well:
  • Satan's Alley became Amor Satanico (Satanic Love) in Latin America.
• True Grit is Valor de ley (a double entendre meaning both "Law's Courage" and "Hallmark Value") in Spain, and Temple de acero ("Temper of steel") in Latin America.
• Twice Round the Daffodils is Weak for the Weaker Sex.
• Up in the Air was retitled "Amor sin escalas" ("Non-Stop Love").
• The Vampire Bat:
  • Argentina: The Vampire's Return
  • Mexico: The Vampire Stalks
  • Spain: Tragic Shadows, Vampires?
• Vantage Point became Justo en la mira ("Right in sight") in Latin America.
• Italian Vendetta dal futuro ("future revenge") was released in Spain as either Destroyer or Brazo de acero — "steel arm". In Colombia it was Manos de piedra — "stone hands" after the original working title.
• The Void became Spells of the Beyond in Latin America.
• "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" became "Dracula: Mar De Sangre" in Latin America.
• White Chicks was titled "Y Donde Estan Las Rubias?" ("So where are the blondes?") in Latin America.
• White Heat became Alma negra ("Dark Soul") in the Americas.
• In Mexico, Wicked Little Things became Shadows in the Forest.
• Wild became Alma salvaje (Wild Soul) in Spain.
• Zombie Strippers! became Attack of the Zombies in Argentina.

• Shaft became The Red Nights of Harlem.
• Shaun of the Dead was inexplicably released in Spain as "Zombies Party" (in English). To make it worse, the subtitle "A romantic comedy... with zombies" was changed to the very lame "A night... of death". Even though most of the film takes place during the day.
  • The Latin American version instead changes it to something nearing a Woolseyism; just as the original title is a riff on Dawn of the Dead (1978), the localization calls it El desesperar de los muertos ("Despair/Desperation of the Dead"), which is meant to sound alike to El despertar de los muertos ("Awakening of the Dead"), which was the earlier localized title for Day of the Dead (1985).
• Dr. Cyclops became The Ogre of the Jungle in Mexico.
• The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake became The Wandering Skulls.
• The Black Room became Horror in the Black Room.
• Innocent Blood:
  • Latin America: Transylvania, My Love

• Black Christmas (1974) became The Macabre Residence, except in Venezuela, where it became Bloody Christmas.
  • Black Christmas (2006) became Screams in the Dark.
• Poltergeist became Juegos diabolicos (Devilish Games) in Latin America.
• Deliverance became Amarga pesadilla (Sour Nightmare) in Latin America.
• The Cottage became A Dark Secret.
• Stone Cold:
  • Argentina: Cold-Blooded
  • Spain: Cold Like Steel
• I Come in Peace became The Deadly Destroyer.
• Time After Time became Escape to the Future.
• Get Out (2017) is an interesting case. In Spain, the title is "Déjame salir" (Let me out), while in Latin America it goes by the title "¡Huye!", which despite how different it looks, actually translates "Get Out!" or even as "Escape!"
• Trading Places became in Latin America De Mendigo A Millonario (From Beggar to Millionaire).
• Red Sonja became "El Guerrero Rojo" (The Red (Male) Warrior), which technically would make Arnold Schwarzenegger's character the titular warrior (even if he never wears red and only appears halfway in... the kid and his bodyguard both wear red, but they are much more argumentative as main characters). The Spain translation of the film called it "Sonja, La Guerrera" (Sonja the (Female) Warrior), which is more accurate.
• The Rundown got a third title in Latin America (when certain markets already had it as "Welcome To The Jungle"), "El Tesoro del Amazonas" (The Treasure of the Amazon).
• Ruthless People became Por fin me la quité de encima (I finally got rid of her) in Latin America and ¡Por favor, maten a mi mujer! (Please, Kill My Wife!) in Spain.
• Freddy Got Fingered became Fuera de Casa ("Out of the House") in Latin America and Freddy el colgao (Freddy the Wacko) in Spain.
• Dead Heat:
  • Peru: Police Revenge
  • Spain: Are We Dead... or What?
• Beverly Hills Ninja became Un Ninja en Beverly Hills (A Ninja in Beverly Hills), an almost literal translation. However, in Spain, it has the misleading (and somewhat narmy) title of La Salchicha Peleona (The Fighting Sausage).
• The Sound of Music became La Novicia Rebelde (The Rebellious Novice) in Latin America, and Sonrisas y Lágrimas (Smiles and Tears) in Spain.
• Up the Creek became Río de Locura (River of Crazyness) in Latin America, and the somewhat bizarre Los Albóndigas en Remojo (The Washed-up Meatballs) in Spain.
• Outside Providence became Lejos de Providence (Far from Providence) in Latin America, however, in Spain, it received what's considered one of the craziest titles for a translation: No Puedo Perderte por Algo tan Tonto Como el Sexo (I Can't Lose You for Something as Dumb as Sex).
• The Meg became Megalodón in both Latin America and Spain, mostly because "Meg" is normally understood there as a diminutive for "Megan" in English (like Meg Ryan, for a most visible example) and also because "Megalodon" gets the point faster in Spanish about what the movie is about.
• Showdown in Little Tokyo became Masacre en el barrio japones (Massacre in Japan Town), in Latin America, being "barrio japones" the Latin American equivalent for a China Town, except with Japanese people, while the Chinese equivalent is named "barrio chino" there.
• The Incredible Hulk is known as "Hulk, el hombre increible" (Hulk, the Incredible Man) in Latin America, while in Spain it's called "El increible Hulk," which is the direct translation.
• Winchester became La maldicion de la casa Winchester (The Curse of the Winchester Residence) in Latin America and Winchester: La casa que construyeron los espíritus (Winchester: The House Built By Spirits) in Spain.
• Being John Malkovich is ¿Quieres ser John Malkovich? ("Do You Want to Be (Like) John Malkovich?"). The alternate title has a bit of a double meaning: Some characters haven't previously heard of the actor John Malkovich, but more importantly, the premise of the film involves multiple people taking over John Malkovich's body.
• The Black Hole was named at least in Spain El Abismo Negro ("The Black Abyss")^note While it sounds much more dramatic than El Agujero Negro, the term used in Spaniard Spanish for a said celestial body, it borders "Blind Idiot" Translation as black holes were referred in the movie as abismos negros instead of agujeros negros.
• Rim of the World became Campamento en el fin del mundo (A Camp on the End of the World) in Latin America.
• BlacKkKlansman became El infiltrado del KKKlan (Translated contextually as "The Undercover Agent of the KKKlan") in Latin America, and Infiltrado en el KKKlan (Translated contextually as "Working undercover in the KKKlan") in Spain.
• Just Like Heaven became Ojalá fuera cierto (I wish it was true) in Spain and Como si fuera cierto (As if it was true) in Latin America.
• The Art Of Racing In The Rain became Mi amigo Enzo (My Friend Enzo) in Latin America.
• The Day The Earth Stood Still, both in its 1951 and 2008 incarnations, got the same title in the European Spanish market: "Ultimatum a la Tierra" ("Ultimatum to Earth").
• The 'Burbs became SOS Vecinos al ataque (SOS [The] Neighbors Attacks) in Latin America and No mataras... al vecino (You Shall Not Kill... Your Neighbor) in Spain.
• Blazing Saddles became Locuras en el Oeste ("Madness in the West") in Argentina and Un comisario de película ("A Spectacular Commissioner") elsewhere in Latin America, but got a straight translation (Sillas de montar calientes) in Spain, that becomes a Word Salad Title and therefore nonsensical.

Literature

Unlike what happens with other media, both Latin America and Spain share the same names regarding this because almost all book translations are done in Spain (and sometimes, Colombia) and brought to Latin America without any changes due of a mix of cultural reasons and also cost reasons, as non-Spanish-speaking companies prefer to translate their books in both countries. Non-Spaniard and non-Colombian book translations are very rare in the Spanish-speaking world.

• The Most Dangerous Game became The Wicked Zaroff.
• The Andromeda Strain became La amenaza de Andromeda (The Threat From Andromeda)
• Animal Farm became Rebelión en la granja (Rebellion on the farm).
• Brave New World became Un mundo feliz (A Happy World).
• Diary Of A Wimpy Kid became Diario de Greg Diary of Greg/Greg’s Diary) in Latin America.
  • The original "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is subtitled "Un renacuajo" (A Tadpole).
  • "The Ugly Truth" became "La cruda realidad" (The Crude Reality).
  • "Cabin Fever" became "¡Atrapados en la nieve!" (Stuck in the Snow).
  • "The Third Wheel" became "Buscando plan…" (Looking for Plan…).

• Ender's Game saga:
  • Speaker for the Dead became La voz de los muertos ("The Voice of the Dead").
  • Xenocide became Ender el xenocida ("Ender The Xenocider").
• The Catcher in the Rye is quite a controversial example of this, since it involves the original author regarding how the Spanish title should be named: The first Spanish translation of the book, made in Argentina, was named El cazador oculto ("The Hidden Hunter"). The book was later re-translated in Spain as El guardián entre el centeno ("The Guardian Between The Rye"), which is a close translation of the English title. However, the Spaniard name was despised by many members of the Spanish-speaking members, and some non-Spanish speaking ones, for being too literal, due to a communication problem between J.D. Salinger and the Spaniard translators,^note This may have been a very dirty move from the Spaniard translators just to being legally able to get the Argentinian translation out to print Salinger banned the Argentinian translation, and now only the Spaniard title is used with everything that involves with it.

  • Necroscope II: Wamphyri became Necroscopio II ¡Vampiros! (Vampires!)

• Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is Harry Potter y el legado maldito - Harry Potter and the cursed legacy. While it tries to hide that it is an Antagonist Title, it's still very vague.
  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is Harry Potter y el Misterio del Principe ("The Mystery of the Prince")
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is Harry Potter y las Reliquias de la Muerte ("The Relics of Death")
• The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen became El Barón de la Castaña ("The Baron of Chestnuts").

• In Spain, Choujuu Sentai Liveman became known as Bioman as a consequence of dubbing over the French dub (where the series was known as Bioman III: Liveman in reference to Choudenshi Bioman being the first Super Sentai series that had been brought over to France).
• Star Trek was called Viaje a las estrellas ("Voyage to the Stars").
  • Although this is a case of a correct translation of the title, as Trek also means "viaje".
• Kickin' It is called "Los guerreros wasabi" ("The Wasabi Warriors") In Latin America.
• Pawn Stars:
  • El precio de la historia ("History's price") in Latin America
  • La casa de empeños ("The pawn store") in Spain
• Get Smart became ''El superagente 86" (Superagent 86) both in Latin America and Spain.
• Gunsmoke became La ley del revolver ("The Law of the Revolver") in Latin America.
• Deadly Women: The Spanish dub changes the title to Las verdaderas mujeres asesinas or, translated, The True Killer Women.
• Diff'rent Strokes became Blanco y Negro ("Black and White") in Latin America and Arnold in Spain.
• The X-Files became Los expedientes secretos X ("The Secret X Files") in Latin America. In Spain the title was translated literally without the Secret bit.
• Full House became ''Padres forzosos" ("Forced Fathers") in Spain (due to a British sitcom of the same name which title was translated directly before) and "Tres por tres" ("Three by three") in Latin America.
  • In Ecuador, the title was changed to "Un hogar casi perfecto" ("An almost perfect home") at the time Ecuavisa held the broadcasting rights during the 90s. The TV channel went to the extreme to censor the official Latin American title. However, years later, Teleamazonas now holds the broadcasting rights to the show and they opted to use the original "Tres por tres" name as in the rest of Latin America.
  • The sequel series, Fuller House, got into account the Gender Flip nature of the series for its Spaniard title: "Madres Forzosas" ("Forced mothers"). In Latin America it keeps the original English name but using the official title of the first series as a subtitle, due of Netflix's policy of keeping the original name of any series or movie in their original language as much as they can.
• Both Cold Case and the A&E reality show Cold Case Files had an interesting bit regarding this, at least in Latin America: In the TV series, it was renamed Caso cerrado (Case Closed) and the reality show was named Casos no resueltos (Unsolved Cases). In both cases none of the Spanish titles matches with the original meaning of the English title because there's no legal equivalent of "cold case" in Spanish in Latin American countries, due to the fact all the Spanish-speaking countries of the region use a different legal framework, compared with The Common Law used in English-speaking countries.
• Stranger Things became Casos extraños (Strange Cases) in Latin America, but only for non-Netflix use. (See above for details)
• The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an interesting case. In Spain, it's called El Principe de Bel Air (The Prince of Bel Air), but in Latin America, it's called El Principe del Rap (The Prince of Rap).

• Growing Pains is called Los problemas crecen (Issues are growing up) in Spain and ¡Ay! ¡Cómo duele crecer! (Ouch! Growing up hurts so much!) in Latin America.
• The Addams Family is known as La familia Addams in Spain, which is a literal translation, but in Latin America the show is known as Los locos Adams (Those crazy/wacky Addams).
• WandaVision is called Bruja Escarlata y Visión (Scarlet Witch and Vision) in European Spanish to avoid copyright issues with a Spanish film studio named WandaVision. In Latin American Spanish, it goes by the original title.
• In European Spanish, Donkey Hodie is called Burrita Rita (Rita Donkey).
• Northern Exposure is Doctor in Alaska.

Music

Just like Japan, it was common until the 1990s to translate or change the names of foreign songs to Spanish ones, especially if the name was relevant to the context of the song, through the practice died out at the beginning of the CD era.

• Kawa No Nagare No Yoni, the most famous song of the late Japanese enka singer Hibari Misora, was renamed to Nubes de mar (lit. "Sea Clounds") in the Mariachi cover version of the song sung by the Mariachi Vargas de Tepatitlan band.

Tabletop Games

• Monopoly goes by many names in both Latin America, Spain, and even the Spanish-speaking people of the U.S.:
  • In Mexico, it's named Turista (Tourist), when the name of the streets are changed with the names of Mexican states. There's another version named Turista Mundial (World Tourist) when the street is now named after countries from around the world instead.
  • In Argentina, it's named El Estanciero, which, just like Mexican Turista, uses the names of Argentinian provinces and also had different rules from either the original or Mexican versions.
  • In Guatemala, it's named Bancopoly, which also uses Guatemalan locales.
  • In Cuba, it's named "Deuda eterna" (Eternal Debt, a Pun of the term Deuda externa, translated as "foreign debt"). Unlike the other Latin American versions, the players take the role of local governments, and rather than defeat the bank, they must defeat the International Monetary Fund instead.
  • In Spain, the game went by many names and adaptations, being the most well-known ones were La ruta del tesoro (The Treasure Trail), which had a pirate thematic, and Petropolis, when the players were people working for the oil industry instead.

Video Games

Just like the Literature folder, both Latin America and Spain share the same names, with very few exceptions.

• South Park: The Fractured but Whole became South Park: Retaguardia en Peligro (Literally as "South Park: Rear in Danger" but it's also an elaborate idiomatic phrase roughly translated as (My) Ass is in Danger).

Western Animation

• SilverHawks became Halcones galácticos (Galactic Hawks) in Latin America.
• Iznogoud^note The animated series, as the comics keep the original name, is being translated in Spain. became El Califa (The Caliph) in Latin America, even though Iznogoud is a Grand Vizier and his whole motivation is becoming a caliph. Even Latin American fans call him such, despite this.
• Family Guy is Padre de familia ("Family Dad").
• American Dad! is Un agente de familia (A family agent) in Latin America and Padre made in USA ("Father made in USA") in Spain
• Regular Show is Un show más ("One More Show"; literally. However it can also mean "Just another show" which makes more sense. ["Eh it's just another show", "Eh it's just a regular show"]) in Latin America and Historias corrientes ("Everyday Stories") in Spain.
• Recess is La banda del patio ("The Playground Gang") in Spain.
• TaleSpin became Los aventureros del aire ("The Air Adventurers") in Latin America and Spain.
• The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise had a quite complicated story regarding this in Mexico and Latin America: Originally it was named in the original 1986 version on-series as Ninja tortugas adolescentes mutantes (a very literal translation of the English title), but network-wise, it was named simply as Las tortugas ninja ("The Ninja Turtles", which incidentally, was the name used in the other Spanish speaking countries). The Mexican dub didn't fix this until many seasons later when the voice actors started to use the name given by the networks, rather than the literal one used during many seasons. Curiously, many Latin American fans prefer the network name over the literal translation, without the Teenage Mutant part. Ironically, the English version also used the simplified Ninja Turtles name too, albeit for legal reasons.
• Care Bears became Los ositos cariñositos in Latin America and Los osos amorosos ("The Loving Bears") in Spain.
• Muppet Babies retained its untranslated title in Latin America. In Spain they received the name of Pequeñecos, a portmanteau of Pequeños ("Little", in plural) and Muñecos ("Dolls"), while also based on the spanish title of the Muppets "Los Teleñecos" (roughly "the TV dolls").
• Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja became Randy Cunningham: Ninja total (Randy Cunningham: Total Ninja) in both Latin America and Spain.
• Rocket Robin Hood became Meteoro Robin Hood (Meteor Robin Hood) in Latin America.
• We Bare Bears is known in Latin American countries as Escandalosos, a Pun-Based Title playing on "osos" (meaning "bears") and "escandaloso" (meaning "outrageous" or "scandalous"). Its spinoff We Baby Bears is Escandalositos.
• Craig of the Creek became El mundo de Craig (Craig's World) in Latin America.
• Disenchantment became (Des)encanto (literal translation, albeit with brackets in the prefix "Dis-") in Latin America and (Des)encantados (Lit. "(Dis)enchanted People") in Spain. For the record, this is one of the few times Netflix translated the name of one of the original productions in Latin America, rather than leave it in English.
• "Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness" became "Kung Fu Panda: La leyenda de Po" (Kung Fu Panda: The Legend of Po" in Latin America
• The Powerpuff Girls:
  • The series is called "Las Supernenas" (The Super Little Girls) in Spain.
  • In Latin America, the What A Cartoon shorts were dubbed in Colombia and called "Las Chicas Coquetas" (which the best translation would be "The Flirty Girls"). When the full series was dubbed in Mexico they retained the name to not break from the original shorts, but after some complaints and simply that the title didn't make sense, it was changed to "Las Chicas Superpoderosas" (The Superpowerful Girls). This was referenced during a bumper short where the girls are rescuing Wonder Woman and Aquaman from Lex Luthor, who calls them "Las Chicas Coquetas", and they angrily correct him.
• Total Drama has three of them in Latin America.
  • "Luz, Drama, Accion" (season 2) is the Spanish name for "Total Drama Action".
  • "The Ridonculous Race" is known as "Drama Total: Carrera Alucinante" (Drama Total: Amazing Race). Not only is it the direct translation to the the show/season it is based on, but 'amazing' could be a synonym for 'ridonculous'.
  • Total DramaRama is known as "Drama Total: La Guarderia", meaning "Total Drama: The Nursery".
• Rocko's Modern Life's sequel special Static Cling became Cambio de Chip (lit. "Chip Switch", but it's also an idiomatic phrase used in Mexico and some Latin American countries that normality means "A change of mentality", used in the sense when a person should change his old habits to new ones, in this case when the characters are forced to adapt their lifestyles from the 90s to the 2010s-2020s) in Latin America.
• Likewise, Invader Zim's sequel special Enter The Florpus became Invasor Zim y el poder del Florpus (Invader Zim and the Power of the Florpus) in Latin America.
• Vor-Tech: Undercover Conversion Squad was retitled Vor Tech Los Guerreros del futuro ("Warriors of the future") in Latin America.

• Dodgeball to Balon quemado (Burned Ball) or Quemado (literally/roughly "Burned") in Latin America and Spain.

  • The capital of Somalia, Mogadishu is spelled as it in Latin America, but in Spain, it's spelled as Mogadiscio.
  • China's capital is often referred to as Pekín rather than Beijing, through Latin America prefers to use the latter instead, while the former is used mostly in Spain.
  • In a similar way, Bangladesh is spelled the same way in Latin America. In Spain, it's spelled as Bangladés (without the h).^note Technically speaking, it should be spelled as the former, according to the UN, but due to cultural differences regarding spelling, Latin American countries normally spell the name phonetically, while Spain pronounces it as it should be. In both cases, however, the pronunciation is still the same.
  • Mexico City itself is named by Mexicans themselves as La Ciudad de Mexico, (literally, The Mexico City or The City of Mexico), but anywhere else in the Spanish-speaking countries, it's just Ciudad de Mexico, without the "La" article.
  • Key West, Florida is named Cayo Hueso ("Bone Cay") in Spanish. This is because Florida used to be part of Spain until 1821 and the name is still used by the Spanish speakers from both the island and the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries, but not for the English-speaking ones nor for the rest of the world.
  • Many cities of Germany had different names in Spanish, and many of these names change depending of the region:
    • Frankfurt am Main is "Fráncfort del Meno" in Spain, while Latin America prefer to use just "Frankfurt", without the "am Main" part.
    • Cologne (Köln) is "Colonia" in both Spain and Latin America.
    • Freiburg is "Friburgo" in both Spain and Latin America.
