Annotation

This paper explored taboo language translation in English language films subtitled into Persian by Iranian fansubbers. Fansubbers’ method was rather directed by the source culture than by the target culture standards. This seems to be an opposition to the leading, conservative ideology upheld in Iranian society and mass media.
