Characters
The Simpsons is also dubbed into the Spanish language in Latin America. In this version, the show is named Los Simpson, as last names are not pluralized in Spanish. There are many differences between the two versions. For example, Homer's name is translated as Homero, but in Spain it isn't translated. Other translations in Latin America but not in Spain are:
- Barney Gumble as Barney Gómez
- Chief Wiggum as Jefe Gorgory
- Ralph Wiggum as Ralf/Rafa Gorgory
- Reverend Lovejoy as Reverendo Alegría
- Sideshow Bob as Bob Patiño
- Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby as Alcalde Diamante
- Itchy and Scratchy as Tommy y Daly
- Cletus Spuckler as Cleto Spuckler.
- Nelson Muntz and Martin Prince were previously renamed as Nelson Rufino and Martin Trino, respectively.
The animation of the show is not changed, and what is written in English appears in English in the Spanish versions. In the chalkboard gags, we hear Bart reading the phrase in Spanish. After the introduction in the Latin American version we hear Homer saying the name of the episode, unlike in the European Spanish dub. The region 1 DVDs and all of the episodes from 30 seasons (including the movie) on Disney+ include the Latin American Spanish audio.

Trivia
During season 9, Huerta quit playing Bart for not being well paid by the company, and was replaced by Claudia Motta. Before season 16, the main cast had a legal issue with Grabaciones y Doblajes (today, New Art Dub) because it wanted the actors to be in the National Actors Association of Mexico, and they were not in that association, so as a result, the whole cast was fired. As of season 16, they were replaced by new actors (in fact, they "copy" the old actors' character voices so the change is not so drastic for the viewers) and Huerta returned to do Bart's voice and replaced Nancy McKenzie as the voice of Marge.
