What do you think how to translate the name of the game? Splinter - like pain. Cell- cell, but how can it be associated with the main character or even the style of the game is unclear.Splinter is in English the splinter and Cell is probably the cage. So Splinter cell, like so

Splinter Cell is literally translated as the shard of glass. Now why is this(taken from the manual to the license. Pandora):
Third echelon, whose existence is denied by the US government deploys mobile units known as Splinter Cell. This elite squad of scouts, consisting of a single spy operating in place and support teams working at a distance. As the shard of glass, a Splinter Cell is small, sharp and nearly invisible.
Something like that...

The people on this subject, I was talking to an American, a lover of books by Tom Clancy. Now, he said, that name is abstract, like most books of this author - Red October, The Sum of All Fears, Athena Sword etc. About a a shard of glass of speech does not go here. As he said, about it means the agent working alone or independent of the secret group intelligence network. In short, an accurate translation of even the Americans could not give =)

But I heard that there is this option: Splinter Cell may Splinter - the word is not translated? But the Cell is exactly the Cell.
