The thing is in Poland you cannot buy a game in the English language version if there is a Polish version available. All the damned retailers and translating companies release games in Polish only. They don't even give you the option of choosing between PL/EN which pisses me off to no end. All the games that I have in Polish have such corny translations and crappy VAs it makes me want to get into the foetus position and cry myself to sleep. The only advantage in buying games in Poland is that it's usually 1/2 or even 1/3 the price for which it sells here in western Europe. But I guess it's the same here in Belgium. When I go to the store all I see is French/Flemish language versions -.- no English option what so ever. Guess I'll have to buy from amazon.co.uk like I do with all my games ;\ | ||

Brazil sure is a growing market for all things, and SC2 will sell a few thousand copies here, but im darn glad its coming in english and not in portuguese =) Translations are lame and take away from the inherent feel of the game. And maybe because of piracy but blizzard has thousands of Brazilian players in wow, and its other games, if they cared about translating stuff into portuguese they would have done it long time ago. I honestly dont know why gaming companies care so little about the Brazilian market, but after a while it starts to become a mutual feeling, and in many cases peoples games will be DLed/pirated simply because theres no alternative to get them, or the government imposed fees on imports make the game cost like 80 dollars. Almost everyone I know has bough an original Blizzard game at some point in their life because bnet is awesome and any gamer know playing on it is a marvelous investment, that said I dont know why they dont invest a little more in us to try to bring more people to the light side, there will be no way to play sc2 pirate anyways. | ||

This is why I am sure we won't see any downloading like Kaniol wrote happening. If only voice actors could at least sound not retarded but natural :/ belief that computer games are mainly for kids is huge factor here imo, it's also what saved W3 translation - the exception that proves the rule. edit: lol I love 1st comment under this news Even with all my love to my native language... It's not suitable to Star  It's like to shave a horse, paint it in black with white stripes and proudly say - zebra :/ | ||

Works well with most other games (at least SC1 and WC3). it's way better than when we get stuff dubbed into English. Since so many games and movies are in English, it doesn't happen as often, so we're terrible at it. | ||

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=22739813925&pageNo=1&sid=3000#0 If I understand Xordiah right First of all, we are of course also localizing in Russian, since this has been announced from the beginning, you can check out the Russian site here: http://eu.starcraft2.com/index.xml?locale=ru_ru We have also added russian forums today (http://forums.battle.net/index.html?sid=3007) as well as Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/StarCraftRU) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/starcraft_ru) pages that will soon fill up with more content. Concerning switching between languages, to start off you will have the language of the box that you purchase. We are planning on releasing language packs at some point, but this will not be for release. We will get information on this to you most likely after release of StarCraft 2. it will be possible to switch languages! This is cool | ||

for those who have tried the other versions please share your thoughts on unit sounds/unit names etc. Compared to the english version, are there units that sound better? I know a few people like Artosis that play on both servers but not sure if he plays with both English version. | ||

I do not like the French version available here, and I'd like to know if I have to buy the English version from amazon.co.uk or I can simply buy it locally (and get my game faster) and language switch. Also,does anyone know if Starcraft II will be available for download at the release date? I'd prefer to be able to get it right away in the proper version rather than wait for a long delivery Thanks for your help. | ||

Unless we've been completely misled, you can pre-download the english eu version already from the sc2 site, and activate it with the key of the box version you buy. | ||

You just have to go to Flanders and there's the English version for you. Remember, our language is called Dutch! I know some people think we call our language Flemish, but that's just a divide-and-rule trick the elites have invented which the plebs blindly take over. Anyway, I'm WAY too late of responding here, I just googled which language versions exist out of curiosity and I read your message. Other people reading me can see how's the situation here. Also, if your country doesn't sell a specific language version, you can download the language pack you want. All the good. | ||

Anyway, to go further on topic. Why does everyone hate his own version so much here? Are they so bad? No they aren't for the most part. What does suck is the fact that the title is in English (StarCraft, sometimes also the Wings of Liberty). What also sucks are the English names with a French/German/Spanish/other speech, makes it all the cheesier. Also, indeed sad the Dutch lost their finals, didn't break the party in the Netherlands though.  BTW, if you want bad dubbing, watch the Russian version of StarCraft I: | ||
