Here's one pretty bad mistranslation though, which features a pretty clear-cut contradiction. http://thesnakesoup.org/?section=myths&content=coma
Marc is also the one who translated the Umbrella Chronicles Prelude to the Fall manga on PU too, by the way.
Liquid Snake: "But father was wounded in combat and already in a coma when they brought him in. So they created us from his cells... with a combination of 20th century analog cloning and the Super Baby Method."
There is plenty of speculation of this coma among fans especially when taking the alleged "missing link" between Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear into consideration. However, the two "links," Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker take place two years before and after the Les Enfant Terribles project, respectfully, and the circumstances surrounding the coma itself are not explored. Well, that's because there was no coma, at least according to the original Japanese script.
Liquid Snake: "だが親父は戦場 で負傷?すでに不能 者だった?だから俺 達は親父の体細胞を 使って造られた。前 世紀のアナログクロ ーン技術とスーパー ベイビー法によって。"
I sent this segment of the Japanese script to Marc Laidlaw from from Junker HQ, known for translating the Metal Gear Solid 2 Game Plan and Policenauts. Marc translated it as such:
Liquid Snake: "But an injury father sustained in combat left him sterile. So they created us from his cells... with a combination of 20th century analog cloning and the Super Baby Method."
