Can you provide some translations that would allow non-Chinese speakers to see why Blizzard did a good job localizing?

Well, you mean their dialogue? I think it is a big project, but I will try.
I never hear the English version of dubbing before, so I will translate them according my understandings

Why are these sounds different from the ones in the Taiwanese client? I don't speak Chinese, but I notice that some of the unit responses are similar but somewhat different than the ones from the Taiwan sound pack.

LOL that archon line where he was like 1... + 1.... =.... 1 Did they come up with new lines completely??

You got the point, the Chinese version (more exactly speaking, the mainland version) is different from Taiwanese Client. Neither character nor dubbing is the same.

haha man that is so awesome. I gotta take some time now to click each unit 5 times or whatever to hear the entire dialogue. It gets pretty funny after the first 3 standard lines you hear while actually playing normally.
|
Leeto i thought the same thing,
i use the Taiwanese sound pack to play and a lot of the units say a couple of the same phrases. (Being able to understand Mandarin and speak at a fluent level) but it sounds likes a different voice actor also it seems like they added in a couple new phrases or translated them differently from the English ones. But im not very familiar with all of the English phrase so i could be wrong.

Well, I think it comes from the archon, that means that you can combine a high tempar with a dark tempar and then an archon appears.

This is awesome and I want to buy it.
1. Is there anywhere online I can buy it and ship it to California?
2. Would I be able to install and play it?
3. Could I use it for NA server or what?

1. here is a URL for you, the DVD of Simply Chinese version of SC2 has casted into the market, the price is RMB 9.9, that is to say, less than 2 US Dollar,
http://s.163.com/11/0321/16/6VMEC3M800314D0E.html
You can either download it from the internet.
http://s.163.com/11/0316/17/6V9L5TTP00314D0E.html
The original version of the game 1.0.0, you need to update it to 1.3 the latest version.
2. You can install and play, of course.
3. I don't know, but you can have a try.

Is the RMB 9.9 for unlimited playtime? Or do you have to pay more money after a while, like in some other countries?

Woah. These new Chinese voices and lines are genius, and they have a ton of character. I'm really digging the videos of them. Too bad my Chinese sucks despite being ethnically Chinese

Interesting...
I usually can't tell the difference between mainland Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin, though I heard that there are a few subtle differences in accents. Cool to see Blizzard completely redoing the voices instead of just copying and pasting the voices from the Taiwanese version, though I personally would not hear a difference (though my Mandarin sucks lol).

so in other words u'd have to play for 2 years before blizzard recovers the value, that's pretty interesting.

Wow! This is super cool! thank you so much for posting this! :D
This is really cool to listen to my favorite units in Chinese! (Even though I don't speak it)
Awesome! thanks again!

Ya, mainland china likes to add a bunch of er's all over the place.
|
the sounds are sooo sick :D
|
I'm ethnically Chinese but my mandarin Chinese kinda sucks, but I'm really digging the voice acting on these units haha. I especially like the stalker ^^
|
Do some repeat or does they really have that many lines? xD
And thanks for sharing
Edit: I wonder if they will make more versions (especially Cantonese) or if this means China will quickly become all Mandarin
|
China is already pretty much all Mandarin, I highly doubt they will do a Cantonese version, even though I would love it.
|
Bwhahaahahaha dammit I want to play the Chinese version. I'm Chinese and the dubbing is vastly superior to English. The siege tank is actually a funny guy. Hellion sounds soo much cooler.
It just goes to show all they really need to do is redub a lot of the terran units to give them a lot more character. The current English version feels dumb.
Hellion is so funny! Insects, high protein! He says that! lol I'm laughing.
Thor actually sounds like a cool guy, not like stupid Arnold.

Their internet doesn't suck, commoners can get 16Mb/s internet for about 14 USD/month
Also the siege tank's lines are hilarious:
+ Show Spoiler +"The target is ... WHERE??!?!"
Edit: I'd have to agree, this dubbing is superior to english. It contains elements of Chinese humour, which is pretty funny
Also, the hellion
+ Show Spoiler +"Insects, high protein content"
Medivac:
+ Show Spoiler +"Oh no, we're all getting injured and killed! Just joking, look how scared I got you."

I translated some of the dubbing of the first URL I post just now, hope you can enjoy it!
Siege Tank/攻城坦克/坦克（Abr.）
目标在哪儿？
Where's the target?
是，长官！
Yes, Sir!
重型金属来啦！出发！
Heavy Metal is comming! Go!
炮-火-轰鸣！
The Fire's Roar!
请讲！我快坐不住啦！
Speak, please! I could not sitting!
使命必达！蹑手蹑脚不是我的风格！
The Mission must be achieved! Creeping is not my style.
炮平四海！
Fire destroys the world!
交给我把！没问题！
I'll take it! No problem!
给我你的命令！
Give me your order!
大声点，想把什么炸平吗？
Louder! Do you want to explode something into ground?
什么？
What?
你能不能走开三十码，然后站在那儿别动？
Couldn't you leave 30 yards from me and stand there still?
我喜欢弥漫在清晨那残骸的糊味。
I like smelling the burnt smell of the remains which fills the dawn.
我不用朝你开炮，直接碾过去就行啦。
I do not need to fire you, I just rolling forward from your body.
让我听听你的炮声，小子！
Fire for me, boy!
攻城坦克，为什么我就是离不开你呢？
Why can't I go without you, my siege tank?
看了这么久，终于到了。
I stared it for a long time, now I come at last.
他一炮轰出去，然后……哇，击中了，击中了，不要给敌人任何机会！
He fired a bomb and then...WOW, I hit it, I hit it. Never leave any chance to enemy!
好的团队需要一个好的坦克。
A good team needs a good tank.
很多年前，像现在这么无聊的时候，我哼过一首歌：贝塔贝塔贝塔，我是坦克手贝塔！
Many years ago, when I feel bored just like now, I sang a song: Beta Beta Beta, I am tank driver Beta.
Marine/枪兵/陆战队员
等着你的命令呢。
I am waiting for your order.
捍卫是好事，你要给你什么指示？
Defence is good, what kinds mission you wanna give me?
谁不服？听众指令，伙计们！
Who's not convinced? Do as the command, buddies!
嘿，这烂盔甲看来长在身上了。
Hey, it seems the fucking armor has growed on my body.
你说，穿成这样怎么上厕所？
You say, how could I go to washing room while wearing this?
不管我怎么躲，他们总是拉上我。
No matter where I shun, they always count me on.
我是我的步枪，我和它形影不离，失去它就等于失去生命！
This is my rifle, we keep together all the time. When I lost it, I lost my life.
本来我准备打完仗就去度假，现在这样，嗯，算了。
I thought I would go to my vocation after the combat, but now, eh..forget it.
朝别人开枪时的感觉真是……震的手麻。
The feeling when you shoot others is ....my hands are numb.
你发现没有，兵营为什么只出不进呢？
Do you find that why we always go out from barracks but never walk in?
有一次，在训练营……抱歉，我的枪卡壳了。
Once upon a time when we were in the trainning camp...sorry, my rifle gets stuck.
谢谢长官，可以再来一次吗？
Thank you, Sir. Can we do it again?
整装待发！
Ready for move!
没问题，明白！
No Problem, Got it!
交给我了，我知道了，别催我。
I will take it. I know, don't push me.

Thanks vizhi_j. Interesting stuff. Hope you get a chance to add the others.

Yeah a lot of Chinese humor, somebody at the Chinese dubbing department is really smart. They really get the culture.
A lot of lost in translation but there is WAY more cultural references in the Chinese than I feel there is in the English.
Battlecruiser has hilarious lines:
I'm seeing double, oh well destroy both anyway
Shit shit we're going down, everyone man their stations while I get the hell out!
Face this direction, full speed ahead, anything in the way, just obliterate it anyway
Quickly finish this battle, we have a party to go at night
What are all these blinking lights?
This kind of low level flying gives me a lot of nerves
My cap flew off, I'm going to go get it (in reference to hot shots, which is a big movie in China)
I drank too much, I have too much shit to do
Thor
What do you need a thick worker for? (something in regards to like hard labour)
Hand it to me then!

Guys, the English ones arn't too bad either. I have to recommend everyone to check up on the stalker if you havn't already. Made me laugh out loud.
Lines like "I have pictures of you... hundreds of them..." lol can you imagine a protoss saying that? ^^

It's more of a "Northern China" vs "Southern China" different than a Mainland vs Taiwan difference.
When a person from Fujian, where most Taiwanese came from and where the Taiwanese language originated, speaks Mandarin, he will pronounce "sh", "zh", and "r" as more of a "s", "z", and "l" sound.

After I listened the dubbing of Protoss, I think the race comes from a kindom of poetry.
Something like: There is a most vast void between your ears. I could not help meself laughing.
|
I guess they did a good job of dubbing? The few times I heard Korean dubbing on units (not 'Not enough minerals', etc) it sounded very awkward.
|
Lol, the stalker... "I'm coming... now I'm going... WAIT!..... I'm over here now...."
Wow, I need this language pack. NOW.
|
did op upload these videos? well done nice find..very interesting...i think chinese version are much more superior than english dubbing...there are so many lines are involved with current chinese cultures..
|
China is already pretty much all Mandarin, I highly doubt they will do a Cantonese version, even though I would love it.
Aww man I just wish Cantonese was chosen or "modified" into the "standard" dialect. It really sucks having pressure to learn Cantonese and Mandarin due to ethnicity and Japanese/Korean for anime/games/eSports xD
