Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake could use an overhauled translation

Just checked both the Japanese and English versions for Campbell's tap code instructions. Yes the original mentions Hanoi Hilton and Korean war. They are too obvious to omit by mistake so I must have had good reason to do so, text space restriction being likely. I also remember being argued not to misguide players believing it has something to do with real Hilton hotel.
About kick-your-twisted-mind, the original sounds even harsher. Snake didn't know poor Null/Gray Fox suffered a lot to become like that.
About the original names, at least Kyanbel is hardly acceptable.
MG2 texts are written in mixture of kanjis and substitute katakanas. The Campbell's line after listening to Pettrovich's tap code is,
キャンベル『タップ．コードだ。ベトナムのハノイ．ヒルトン【北ベトナムの収容所】でよくつかわれたツウシン法だ』
キャンベル『もともとチョウセン戦ソウ中にシヨウされていたものだ。トリセツにカイドク方法がかかれているはずだ。．．．ＯＶＥＲ』
If rewritten fully in kanjis and a period inserted between two lines it will be (1).
The line applicable to kick-your is this.
ＳＮＡＫＥ『ＦＯＸ！キサマのくさりきったショウネをたたききなおしてやるっ！』
If rewritten fully in kanjis and with たたきき typo corrected to たたき, it will be (2).
If you google translate below you probably get the idea.
(1)
キャンベル『タップ・コードだ。ベトナムのハノイ・ヒルトン【北ベトナムの収容所】でよく使われた通信法だ。元々朝鮮戦争中に使用されていたものだ。取説に解読方法が書かれている筈だ。…OVER』
(2)
SNAKE『FOX!貴様の腐り切った性根を叩き直してやるっ！』

First of all, entire script is available here Zanzibar Bldg Tower Bldg Concentration camp. Because most kanjis are substituted by katakanas, Google translation yields nonsense.
I definitely made a mistake at one place. Marv says this when he is talking with Natasha in fake Czech.
Kana: タワーヴィル、クレブスキュール　ムコヴァ　シュシュノワ　シリバシュ　イケタニ
romanji: tawaaviru krebusukyuuru mukova shushunowa shiribashu iketani
English-ish transliteration: Towerville crevskyur Mukova Shushunova Silivaș Iketani
Knowing that Natasha says "Marv is in on the other side of the crevasse north from Tower Bldg" after finishing the conversation and no other part of fake Czech (actually Russian) mentions that, and that the names are obviously the Seoul Olympic gymnasts and Natasha is ex-Olympian I "translated" it to "The concentration camp is north from the crevasse. What are your Olympic friends are doing, Mukova, Shushunova, Silivaș and Iketani?" and sent it to the Czech translator.
However, having recently learned some of the conversation don't even sound near to Russian, I checked again... none of these words is Russian. Crevasse starts "kre" in neither Russian nor Czech. Towerville is Tower Bldg (tawaabiru in Japanese) modified to sound like other language, or maybe allusion to Alphaville in Snatcher. And the entire sentence structure isn't a sentence, words are just placed without conjunction between them.
Yes, this was another Kojima's BAD JOKE, like Colonel getting uncontrollable at the end of MGS2. Even player who understands Czech has to feel queer, "what's this nonsense?". Kana spelled in Czech phonetics is most exact.
Actually Marv's line before this is "thank you very much my friend is it/she still beautiful today?" which already hints he has gone haywire and to which Natasha responds suspiciously, "excuse me, Marv?".

But whatever this is, I am not going to do anything about the existing one. The name length restriction is obvious in the original, Petrovich shortened to pe-to-ro so that's "official". The status quo is result of hard work between Maarten, Jon and me and I consider it "closed". I still keep the Czech textbook I bought for last ditch ;)

I noticed two errors: The grenades you use against Predator are glitched, and Campbell's headshot is used when your No. 1 Fan calls you up about Night Sight. These errors aren't present in the original Japanese rom.

Takamichi, thanks for posting the script from Game Kommander. That's a great site.

The last time I played it on OpenMSX a few weeks ago (1.4 translation) I saw those errors.

Haven't tried it.
