'Bitch' is the way I've usually heard it translated, but I've heard so many other translations(although most of them were probably unreliable) that I think it might vary a bit with the dialect.

If memory serves 'puta madre' is one of those things that doesn't translate well literally and 'son of a bitch' would be the closest english equivalent as far as desired meaning/effect for an insult or exclamation.

Hope that helps.

and Hola calla.
