 In Spain, it was translated to M. A. Barracus, in part for the nickname "Bad Attitude" which translates into "Mala Actitud".In the French version, the meaning of the initials was dodged altogether since the character is constantly called "Barracuda" after the large and ferocious fish species of the same name, and even his second name of Baracus is rarely used.In the Italian version, he is named P. E. Baracus, where P. E. stands for ""Pessimo Elemento"", translated literally as "Very Bad Element".
