I live in Belgium, imagine I would have to play in Dutch or even worse, in French.
I simlply wouldn't play, but normally I'll be able to play English

and n/o to other language, but this game is designed in English, so the only decent language to play it in is English.

If you're in Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, or Southeast Asia, and you wish to play in English... buy a copy appropriate for your region, and simply download the appropriate English client for your region:
Europe [enGB] -
https://eu.battle.net/account/management/sc2/pre-download.html?gameRegion=EU&lang=en-GB&platform=win
North America [enUS] -
https://us.battle.net/account/management/sc2/pre-download.html?gameRegion=NA&lang=en-US&platform=win
Australia/New Zealand/Southeast Asia [enSG] -
https://sea.battle.net/account/management/sc2/pre-download.html?gameRegion=SE&lang=en-SG&platform=win

If you're in a region without a native English client, Latin America, Russia, Korea, or Taiwan, and you wish to play in English... no one knows for sure exactly what to do. Most likely a solution will be found (quickly) to use another region's English client in your region. I, Girlscoutcookie and not blue or any official source, would recommend downloading the enUS release, and the release for your region. You may not need both (hopefully we can get you playing with only the enUS copy), but it's possible you may need a valid client for your region to activate. No one knows yet. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a day. The first thing I'll be doing before I start playing is figuring out a solution to this question.

I'm not sure if you're being ironic, but have you ever played Starcraft in other language? Is pure crap.



it's starcraft, in another language.

i never was as glad that 'we' (the europeans) have the United Kingdom.
But seriously, this policy is just sad.

Don't hold your breath. They said they'd do that for WoW and they still haven't.


It's false. I had french version of wow and I downloaded an official patch to play in english.

Only difference I could see would be how words would be spelled. Armory (US) Armoury (GB) and so on. The US doesn't like adding the u into most words like honor and honour.

Maybe if you download the enUS version and just changed the address the client connects to? I thought there was a file with the server address, this could be totally wrong tho.

I'm having the same worries and i'm undecided about what should I do, i really don't want a game with spanish dialogue the tranlations for games are often poor and the voice acting is usually awful.

but anyway I just wanted to say that if you change your country in you b.net account inormation then you'll be able to download different client versions, in fact i'm in the middle of downloading the en_US client. so you could just do that and figure out later the payment method you'll use.

There was for WoW and Beta, however I'm looking through my client right now and cannot find the realmlist.stf that was in the beta client under support. Could probably just create one, however I don't know the address for the US server 100%.

I'm currently in the process of looking into this. The tricks we used in Beta don't work. This currently isn't as simple as simply changing your gateway. Doing this gives an error about needing an authorized language pack to play with this language. I am however, still exploring more technical options.

that's ridiculous.
these people should not have to go out of their way to play a game in the original language or be denied to play in a language that is obviously available but 'region locked'.
but i guess its what they have to do...

I'm currently attempting to connect to TW region using the enGB client.

Merging the locale files (as in my earlier step by step) and changing the ProductLocale.txt in Base.SC2Data both result in a successful connection, but an error about needing an authorized language pack to play in that language.

I am currently looking into merging the enGB data into the zhTW datafiles.
