I noticed a really weird variant of this while playing one of the RE Revelations games. From what I remember, the game was set on some fictional island that was supposed to previously have been under Russian or Soviet control, and one of the collectables was a coin with some text that was very badly translated and typed in a Japanese font (these usually have Cyrillic support, but the characters are drawn weirdly, like they're all borrowing from a copy of a copy of some early 20th century book). Then I heard a radio recording in the game, and it was in perfectly-understandable and well-spoken Russian.

So they got a good Russian-speaking voice actor for the game, who presumably could talk to the script-writers and figure out what he was actually supposed to say, but they didn't have anyone else to run the game's graphics through.
