Just out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know the Korean names of the Starcraft 2 Units? I tried searching on the forums, but I only found three or four unit names.

Anyone here play on the Asia server and have the whole list? I think it's really interesting how the names on the Western servers are different from the Eastern servers. If Korea decides to pick up Starcraft 2 as an E-Sport, it may be difficult for people to understand the commentaries as in Brood War, people can deduce what the commentators are saying based on their Eastern pronunciation of the unit names. So I'd really like to get to know some of the Korean names now. Thanks!

My high school buddy is working for a company that has been contracted to translate the unit names. I remember him complaining about how bad the names are.

Use the above link if you can read Korean, and otherwise... well, why even worry about it then?

Senior Articles for a High Templar? Way to make a badass psychic unit sound like a government functionary. My hat is off to you blizzard korean translators.

Monitoring monarch (Overseer). Are you kidding me?

I like Ultra-risk though, I think there must be a joke in here somewhere about the sad state the ultra is (was?) in

Gasijiokgu. Reminds me of Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano

It's actually spike hell or thorn hell. Google translator must be thinking the first part of the phrase as go, which is understandable.

You have to note some words in English does not exist in Korean so it's impossible to translate them directly. (such as Templar, Archon, Hellion)

Some names are pretty bad though and there are a lot of controversy over naming of some units in Korean forums. (Raven abd hellion in particular)

Literal translations of unit names are always going to sound stupid. You can only comment on whether the names sound good if you speak the language. And of course google translated ones are going to sound retarded...
