This research aims at studying the process of communication with film audience through the translation of swear and rude words in foreign movies by five leading translators, namely, Thanatcha Saksiamkul, Jiranan Phitpreecha, Mom Chao Thipayachat Chatchai, Saksit Sangpray and Anirut Na Songkla. It also examines the factors affecting the translation of swear and rude words by these translators in terms of their experiences, the characteristics of the subtitle, specifically swear and rude word, including the effectiveness of communication between the translators of foreign movies and the audience. The findings of the research are as follows. While each translator uses different techniques in translating swear and rude words, depending on his/her experience and background in language, attitude towards the career, worldview and common sense, other factors do exist which contribute, to a significant degree, to the decoding and encoding process of the translation of swear and rude words in foreign movies. These factors include movie audience, censorship, distributors, post-production process, socio-cultural situation as well as personal ideals and judgment of the translators themselves. The impact can further be felt in the characteristics of the Thai-language subtitle in that it can convey, only partially, the meaning of the images and sound to the audience. This results in an inefficiency in communication process since the audience cannot fully access to the content, theme and signification of the movies on the screen. The pleasure of viewing the movies is thus lost. Hence, it can be said that the communication between the translators and the audience through the translation of swear and rude words in the subtitles is not as efficient as it should be. There appears to be a communication breakdown with certain groups of audience.
