It's an academic gameplay mechanic. I bet you by the end he can speak Russian again :)
Graduation Cap confirmed!

I speak spanish well but honestly if I never spoke it for 9 years, let alone be in a coma for 9 years, I'm sure I'd forget it too, at least the intricate terminology (such as words common for infiltrating a base lol)
As far as Ocelot & Miller, as mentioned before, they got more important things to worry about...business 101: outsource certain skills to people who specialize in them.
Although it is kind of a bummer that one of the greatest soldiers of all time isn't bilingual anymore

I don't know about the first paragraph, maybe if you didn't get to a level of fluency. I won't ever forget the Portuguese I know, But then again I haven't been in a helicopter crash(just a car crash).

And interpreting is only difficult if you aren't fluent in one of the languages.

Uhuh, try saying "I'll never forget the (language) I know." ten years after not using it, let alone the twenty years Big Boss spent not speaking the language. Knowing foreign languages is no different from any other skill, if you spend long enough not using it, you'll either be rusty as shit when you start using it again or it's forgotten entirely.

I wouldn't recommend talking about things you know nothing about as if you do. Being fluent in a language and being a skilled translator/interpreter are oil and water, two completely different things, you could be fluent in as many languages as you possibly could and you'd still be as useless as tits on a rock if you weren't a skill translator/interpreter.

Still we carry you.

If anyone wants another reason for Ocelot not translating, he wants Big Boss to do it by himself, "You're on your own".

I haven't used/spoken any Irish for over 10 year at least, and I still remember just about everything I learned and was never nowhere near fluent.

I had a whole month long vacation almost entirely consisting of translating between English and Portuguese, just about all day long, everyday, It wasn't difficult to begin with. Luckily I had some cousins that would take my place every now and then, easy for them too. I don't know, I possibly know more about it than you, but then again, I don't know you so I'm not going to berate you with my clueless assumptions. You could be a professional translator after all.

Ocelot just tells Big Boss that all the soldiers want to join Diamond Dogs because of Big Boss's legendary soldier reputation... All the guys are really just joining to watch that crazy Russian Cowboy guy juggle guns and waiting to see if he accidentally shoots someone else's eye out.
