Italian text translation is REALLY misleading
I'm specifically talking about the Italian text translation since it's my native language

I was wondering why I didn't appear to get/trigger specific things that I swore I did correctly, yet didn't grant me the bonus points, the mission goal, etc

Turns out that "PERFECT STEALTH, NO KILLS" is translated into "SALUTE PERFETTA, NO UCCISIONI" which means "PERFECT HEALTH, NO KILLS"...

A goal into mission 11 and mission 40 (Quiet, and the Extreme version of Quiet, Cloaked in silence) which is "Neutralize Quiet with non-firearm attacks" is translated into "Neutralizza Quiet con attacchi corpo a corpo", which means "Neutralize Quiet with CQC attacks".

Lines of dialogues from logs (especially Code Talker's) and cutscenes are also entirely missing.

I know English very well, but some of the things are incredibly misleading, annoying and totally out of context for no reason.

Just a "warning" and a couple of examples, can't specifically remember something else at the moment

Bumping this because in my opinion any localization needs to be done as good as possible.
I mean this up there is plain horrible. It's not a typo, but totally missed points.

But will also add that some things are also not translated well in english version.
From the top of my mind, you need to "secure a weapon", a task says. The actual task is to kill something with that weapon. Another task is not to use a wapon, say in the game. The truth is you need to keep at least one piece of "ammo" for it. Etc.

Weird

The portuguese localization seems to be very good.
Except the "boaster" and "troublemaker" skill names that makes no sense, I haven't seen anything wrong with it.
