Ahh. Do you think the way you are doing it would work for KR to US server? We won't know for sure since well, US isn't up but KR should have an English Pack no? Can't seem to find your step by step on how you got it to connect.

Well, at least in Argentina, everybody is going to play in US servers, Spanish translation is so ugly and latency was not an issue in beta, so it wouldn't be now.

Gogo US untill cross-realm is enabled.

-1 for Blizzard ant they are now like -7/10 for me.

to be honest, being forced to play in Latin American servers will make South America's SC2 community to grow stronger. we will have the option to change to US later, but I really think they should force us to play in LA for a time. the only bad thing is to hear everything in portuguese! it is awful! lol

At least for Brazil, there isn't a strong scene here and we need something like that. hangarnet is the only thing I know, but its only a forum...

EDIT:
I am signed as brazilian in my battle.net account and I still had the option to download the USA client. just had to click "change region". I will update here when finished to guarantee everything is fine. woot, I'm downloading it! 6.9 GB, but can't buy the digital sate yet.

lol
what I just said about the LA community is going to hell... if we have the option, we will use the USA client, obviously. we love america! =D

LA will be only-noob-server, since all experienced players are going to play in US. Thanks Blizz for doing wrong things.. its to hard for u to understand that we WANT to play in English?

Success!... sorta...

I've successfully localized a portion of my Chinese (TW) client into English. I'm currently looking into how to localize the rest of it, and then eventually an easy way to accomplish this. Check back later for more updates!

I dont think many people in LatinAmerica are understanding the way this works.
For LA we have a specific server, hosted in Brazil(I think). The main issue here is that if you buy on most of the stores today(at least here in Chile), you have a cd key that works on those LA servers. For those servers, you can only download a spanish o portuguese version of the game. I think most of us want to play the game in its original language, but blizz isnt giving that option. If you choose to download the US(english) client you can only play with US cdkeys( which can be bought in LA in some stores).
If you bought the 30 dolar version(6months), it will only work on LA servers.
That said, I think it will be rather easy to transform a englishUS client into a one that works in LA, but it will need some work in the inner core files.(like on the beta)

If the LA server is hosted in Brazil then i will buy the US version because US has much better latency for us in Colombia than Brazil.

I played in the LA WoW server for some time, and it's latency was way higher than the US servers. I'm buying the NA version of SC2, and so are my friends.

I had no problems playing WoW on US and LA servers, and no problems on the Sc2 beta, but I favored LA because of local competition..

Lol im glad we're not a big country, i'd be horrified if the game was brought out in my language. Really a shame for you LA guys, that sucks. What if you moved over there with your parents and you only speak english? You need to pay extra for shipping? That's ridiculous.

I'd have to agree with whoever it was that speculated that the lack of an English language pack is probably due to Blizzard not currently maintaining any English-speaking support offices for the LA region. Although, I still think it's completely retarded of them to not offer any way at all to get an English client in the region.

Blizzard continues its trend of demolishing the last scraps of faith I had in the company. At least I'll have something else to complain about with my European and Asian friends in vent while we're not playing each other.

tl;dr : QQ.

Source? Where does it say the LA servers are in Brazil? I'm betting they are on Dallas like the WoW servers...

if it's true that the LA servers are in brazil then for me the best choice is to connect to the US servers (I'm in Mexico) and if it's also true that licence keys are also region locked then that means i must NOT buy the localized version and I should trick b.net into thinking i'm in the US so i can buy the digital en_US version.

and this is the best choice for anyone in Mexico. it's obvious that they didn't think this through, why the obsession with locking regions? it isn't practical for anyone, ping issues would be dealt automatically by common sense by the gamers themselves so that's not the reason. what is the real reason you ask? the same reason google forces localized results in searches: that you can place adds more accurately.

edit: and ultimately this will mean that i won't be able to play with irl friends who didn't have this knowledge and bought the localized version. the LA comunity will be split.

Anybody else getting this error?

Couldn't decompress Ogg data. Se esse problema persistir, entre em contato com o Suporte Técnico da Blizzard. (InstallerDecompressOgg)

Not how it works for us Swedes with most things. There are rarely localised versions (thank god) and rarely any Swedish support. We have to call to UK or US to get support in the only other language we understand: English. I don't see what would stop Blizz from doing the same for LA region. If you want English support: Call the US or send an email.

Most likely they just tried to be nice and make localised versions and were blind to the problems. Just like no chat channels, no cross realm play, the ladder system and the real ID debacle. They try to make something good and lose complete track of the actual problems with it.
