I worked on the Metal Gear Solid from PS1 to PC. This was back in 2000, and my first real gamedev job. Fresh from Bulgaria, haven't played any consoles, and just using a WordStar program I've exracted all japanese comments from the source code, "translated" them - well word by word I think with the WordStar (I don't recall the exact name) then put them back. Some things were just too funny...
At the point where the game was supposed to handle CONTINUE, the comment was CONTINEKU. Another one was METARU GERU SORIDU (or GIRU, don't remember). and more than that... all in all though even with word-by-word translation I was able to get through (we were only 3 "interns" working on the project + our boss (lead)).
Also learned how well "C" can be written :)
