i'm not so sure about this.

people have been saying there is formation movement in sc2. if you can't turn it off(can in wc3) then you will have to use 1a2a3a for zealots, stalkers, immortals.

although there is that button to send command only to the tabbed group...what was it? ctrl maybe? lol i haven't used it. i should find out what it is, it could be useful even in warcraft 3.

it's cool that there is a korean version of starcraft but instead of making up shitty names blizzard should just sound out the english names using korean (like katakana in Japanese). so commentators get to say "stooooormu!" instead of "scary lightning"...

well some things are good to translate and some are not. you don't want to translate everything...but some stuff it's ok to translate. like a character name is probably a bad idea to translate that...but a unit name...that's a little different. it might depend on what unit it was.

anyway, "working insect" is what a drone is..so there's nothing wrong with that translation...

baneling, it's just a retarded name, imo, and venomous insect, that's well...is the explosion poisonous? looks like a kindof explosive acid or something to me... i don't get how it can be a VENOMOUS insect...venom is poison that comes through the teeth... i think acidic insect or something like that would be better...right? or maybe viral exploders or something...somthing that fits the name...

carrier is an alright name and i suppose big spaceship is ok...but they're totally different names! i don't like that. there's nothing wrong with the collosus name as far as i can tell...

lurker and underground conquerer do seem like different names...but i think it's probably ok in this instance...but wouldn't it be a better name for the infestor...since it can move around while burrowed? or can lurkers do this too?

I'm always against translations in games, because a big part of it involves the translation of names, and they always fail to express the true meaning and sounding of the word in it's original language... I don't know, I think no matter what, no matter how accurate, you can never have a translation that is as good as the original, so why bother doing it? English makes things sound just better, I wouldn't ever play a portuguese version of SC2.

Korean netizen comments seem pretty positive, I'm really shocked by their response. That's a really good thing I guess.

People shouldn't worry too much about Z being weak on the current build... Balance comes and goes, I would be shitting my pants only if people expressed anger towards the core game mechanics, and that's not the case. Balance is really something easy to adjust by patching.

AHAHAHAHA The Korean names for the SC2 units are LOL-worthy. Big Space Ship? Underground Conquerer? Insect Worker? Imagine if the U.S names got changed into those.

What is this plague you speak of, for there surely is none of that in SC2.

I'm wondering why blizzard would do such a bad job of translating the names... doesn't seem like them


Because it's not Blizzard that does the translation. It's the local developer. For example polish version of WC3 was absolutely brilliant in terms of translation (and I friggin hate localized game content), they even changed the unit jokes to fit our reality better.


Polish words are about 40% longer(I remember that from info about translating 8Mile), sentence structure is different... and to communicate with the rest of the world you need to know English names >.<
Even with the best translation, there will be no as strong, thrilling emotions, feelings contained even in the simple "yessir".
I like how Polish version of W40K II was done: audio lines of the characters weren't touched and Polish subtitles were simply added... it only misses repeat button P

Okay, I appreciate people trying to explain to people why the Korean names are awful, but... If you translate something to another language, then translate it back to the original, it will ALWAYS sound much worse. It's very funny and entertaining, but it's not accurately representative AT ALL of how the unit names sound in Korean. They are bad, yes, but it's because of the nuances that can't be understood unless you know Korean.
