This paper proposes the use of translation as an exercise capable of raising students’ awareness of pragmatic differences between English and Spanish, with particular emphasis on taboo words, rarely studied in a formal environment. This difficult area of the L2 has been brought to the fore after the publication of two corpus-driven grammars ( Biber et al. 1999 ;  Carter and McCarthy 2006 ). The translation exercise was carried out with two groups of advanced students, who had to render two episodes of the British sitcom  The I. T. Crowd  into Spanish. Then the results were compared with the choices in the dubbed versions. Two hypotheses were put to the test: (1) that students would tone down the swearwords used in the original text, (2) that translators might remain closer to the colloquial tone of the English scripts and, thus, maintain taboo items. For the second hypothesis all six episodes of series 1 were used. The results showed that while students were indeed cautious in the treatment of offensive language, translators increased the use of swearwords exponentially.
