made by 坦克 and original chinese post here: http://bbs.game.163.com/thread-167586884-1-1.html

download : http://115.com/file/e7zyn2ww#

Extract to your StarCraft II game folder and run sc2 language tools1.6.bat

note:
1. StarCraft II lastest version : 1.4.2.20141
2. language files can only be changed from your local to english/chinese
3. backup your files first, if problems exists, just replace them back
4. if new patch coming, must change it back before updating your client
5. this tool will obviously change you original client files and no one will be responsible for it

yeah, if you wanna change voice files, you have to prepare them(too large) before.

which part you wanna be translated?
if you just want to use your english client playing on TW/KR server.just
1. type 'y' into main menu
2. type '2' switching BN server
3. type '124' if your client language is 'en-US'
4. type '134' or '135'
5. type 'y' to confirm default server changing


switching default server just changes some region code (from 'en-US' to 'zh-TW'), You can do it yourselves by using MPQEditor. like:

*note: backup

1. Mods\Core.SC2Mod\zhTW.SC2Data
this file can be copied from '星际2语言转换工具1.6.20141\data\Core\'

2. Mods\Core.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data\ProductLocale.txt
enUS --> zhTW

3. Versions\Base19679\patch-en-US.SC2Archive
make one copy of this file, rename it to 'patch-zh-TW.SC2Archive'
open it by mpq editor, \Mods\, extract all 'enUS.SC2Data' & 'enUS.SC2Assets' folders (remember each position)
rename these folders from enUS to koKR
open each zhTW.SC2Data\BlizzardComponent.xml, <name>zhTW</name>
put these files back to 'patch-zh-TW.SC2Archive'
[image loading]

4. \Documents\StarCraft II\Variables.txt (ex.windows 7)
localeidassets=zhTW
localeiddata=zhTW


you dont need to delete or replace any files on step 1&3, if you want to switch back to NA server, just repeat step 2&4 'koKR --> enUS' .

okay so i'm new to the whole translation and relocalizer thing so don't hate me too much. I've got a tw/kr account and client and the na account and client. i can play on both off the same account and everything and i can deal with the language being chinese. will this (or any relocalizer that's up to date) let me play on the tw/kr server with the english voice and sounds? I used girlscoutcookies relocalizer and i don't think it's up to date so it didn't really work. Is that what the relocalizer actually does, or just makes it so i don't need to dl the kr/tw client to my computer?

I know i make no sense and sound like i have special needs, but i've seen people like destiny and minigun using relocalizer before jumping servers and i never paid attention really to see if their language changed too. Liquid'tyler changed his kr in-game language to english and everything using some program, but it wasn't the relocalizer that destiny and minigun were using. can someone please clear this up for me in really dumb down terms? (maybe not too dumb down, but not crazy computer language plz)

thanks in advance if anyone could decipher what i just wrote

Aside from the slightly more colourful GUI, this looks like a translated version of the old system

"will this (or any relocalizer that's up to date) let me play on the tw/kr server with the english voice and sounds?"
yes

yes


just do what i have already said,
1. type 'y' into main menu
2. type '2' switching BN server
3. type '124' if your client language is 'en-US'
4. type '134' or '135'
5. type 'y' to confirm default server changing

and if you you wanna back to NA server, do it again,

i dont play that minigun game, but this tool wont dump anything, just an easy way to help you copy and past some words (from en-US to zh-TW) and one TW client local file (zh-TW.SC2Data). 100% safe...

Some questions:

1) Will I need attached SC2 to my account to connect with that server?
2) If my account has SC2-Started Edition, will it allow to play on any server but wilh full access?

if you mean switching between servers, yes, it works.

how does it work?
you will find 'enGB.SC2Data/enUS.SC2Data/koKR.SC2Data/zhCN.SC2Data/zhTW.SC2Data' these five files in'星际2语言转换工具1.6.19679\data\Core\' folder.
These files comes from 4 different servers, 5 different clients. 100% origional, official, no touched. You can even check them with your local file in'\StarCraft II\Mods\Core.SC2Mod' if you like.
why we need replace them, because each server will check them weather you are using the 'right' client when you login.

and rest work is just renaming some files or content from 'enGB' to 'zh-TW', etc. Easy understand?

i dont understand. this is just an easy switching tool. it wont help you to get permission to access any server. so you must have that 'available' account, whatever edition.

omg, i think maybe you will make some misunderstanding.
if you succeed switching server once, you dont need to do it again before the game. or keeping the tool window when you playing. It's not a plugin or something like that. you can just delete it if you won't use it again.

I'm a little confused on where to click to actually download this thing, the website has a lot of bright buttons.

I'm also wondering if I get a whole new set of placements on KR server using this method? And is it really condoned by blizzard? seems like it kind of bypasses there whole 1 copy per account method.
