Being a native speaker of English just means that any error is probably on the Russian side of the equation.

Also, translation is difficult without context- if the translator wasn't actually checking every aspect against the actual game, it's hard to translate words that can have multiple meanings, if you don't have a way to check which meaning applies.

Finally, you're assuming that the source material is 100% correct. There are a lot of English-originated games that have errors in the manual without any translation issues.
