Blizzard tried to translate the unit responses as well, I couldn't stop laughing when I first started playing (especially as Terran). | ||

Don't see the point of the localizations. EDIT: Actually, even while speaking to another Korean in Korean, even if they fully understand English, you tend to use konglish pronunciations for english words and terms. (At least I do, and all the Koreans I know) | ||

U.S. Navy. a petty officer in charge of officer's quarters and mess.

 Especially if you're just translating back from the Korean using an internet translator, you're getting an overliteral translation. "Monitoring monarch" is probably not quite that cumbersome in the original Korean -- that's just the essence of the Korean word(s). I'm speaking as a translator of Asian languages into English -- though I don't know Korean. It's a common misconception.  | ||

Also Myuta Risk is notable. Korean seems to lack a "l" letter or sound? | ||
