“Secret” archives = private/separate archives. To translate segreto as secret is just plain false because it conveys a meaning untrue to the original language. Anybody who’s done a smidgin of translating knows that sometimes the word that sounds the same in the target language is exactly the word you can’t use if you want to convey accurate meaning.

If they had made english the official language back then we wouldn’t be having this problem today.
