The title says it all.
I also put a forum post on the official battle.net forums under "general discussion", but I doubt that'll garner any results, so I'm putting this thread up here on TL, which is all kinds of awesome in comparison.
My goal is to gather information for each relocalization of SC2 -- for instance, on the German client a Baneling Nest is named something along the lines of a Berstlingnest. I think that's cool, and also opens up an important point, and the most useful thrust of this search. The client is localized for other countries, so things may have weird names that you can't communicate to people who don't play on the same language client as you. Re-translating names is close but not perfectly accurate and can create some genuinely confusing barriers.
I'm looking to put all of this information up on Liquipedia; probably on one page or maybe one for each race.
To begin with: Command Centers, how are they named in German/French/Italian/etc.?

I'm on a Mac, so as far as I know that wouldn't work very well.
Either way, I'm going to start adding unit/structure names based off of language, I guess, all in one page. Thanks in advance (and to the others who have already done so) for anyone else who contributes.

You can get all the information you are asking for at battle.net under the game menu.
Just select the race and you get all the units. Select the unit and you get the production facility under "production".
Then, change the language for the one you are looking for and it's all there.
EDIT: Region/language change is at the bottom right of the page.

This is a deceptively fun topic. Although I think the more interesting is not what straight name translations are, but what certain phrases translate to (you can use google translate for most individual names, especially terran). However, most RTS language we think about is in terms of English phrases, do they work in other languages?
I would love to know what some Starcraft phrases translate to in Spanish. For example, how would you say mothership rush? "carreterra de buque de madre'?
Does the phrase "unit ball" translate? Can I say "una pelota de las unidades"?
