Hello,

Blizzard has confirmed that StarCraft 2 will be fully localized in few european languages:

- English
- German
- French
- Russian
- Spanish
- Polish
- Italian

Also for each language there will be full support , forums ect.

Full info : http://www.starcraft2.net.pl/portal/sc2/1/842/StarCraft_2_w_calosci_po_Polsku.html and screenshot

We have only screenshot of the press info, becouse it was today deleted (9:30 AM european time) from blizzard site.

Seriously though, I should make a petition to alert Blizzard to the existence of Esperanto.

We can probably expect to see at least Chinese and Korean versions as well, I'd imagine.

So if you don't see your country there don't panic. =)

Ugh oh God I was hoping it wouldn't come out in Polish -.- (but I guess it was predictable since wc3 came out in polish also)

The thing is in Poland you cannot buy a game in the English language version if there is a Polish version available. All the damned retailers and translating companies release games in Polish only. They don't even give you the option of choosing between PL/EN which pisses me off to no end.
All the games that I have in Polish have such corny translations and crappy VAs it makes me want to get into the foetus position and cry myself to sleep.

The only advantage in buying games in Poland is that it's usually 1/2 or even 1/3 the price for which it sells here in western Europe.

But I guess it's the same here in Belgium. When I go to the store all I see is French/Flemish language versions -.- no English option what so ever.

Guess I'll have to buy from amazon.co.uk like I do with all my games ;\

I really couldn't imagine that would work out. ;D

It would probably sell less than the English version.

EDIT: I expect that we will have the option to install different languages from the Battle.net service. It already does that for World of WarCraft.

Are you sure this is not fake? The screenshot states 21st of August as the date of the announcement. If that is the case, why reveal the news only now?

No Portugese? I always thought Brazil was a growing market as far as gaming is concerned, and Portugal must have a not-too-awful market share as well.

I'm wondering. Probably as always we will have only Polish version available, BUT Blizzard offers option to download games from their site if you have proper CD-KEY.
Does anyone know if you can which select language version you download while using this option?

Brazil sure is a growing market for all things, and SC2 will sell a few thousand copies here, but im darn glad its coming in english and not in portuguese =)

Translations are lame and take away from the inherent feel of the game.

And maybe because of piracy but blizzard has thousands of Brazilian players in wow, and its other games, if they cared about translating stuff into portuguese they would have done it long time ago.

I honestly dont know why gaming companies care so little about the Brazilian market, but after a while it starts to become a mutual feeling, and in many cases peoples games will be DLed/pirated simply because theres no alternative to get them, or the government imposed fees on imports make the game cost like 80 dollars.

Almost everyone I know has bough an original Blizzard game at some point in their life because bnet is awesome and any gamer know playing on it is a marvelous investment, that said I dont know why they dont invest a little more in us to try to bring more people to the light side, there will be no way to play sc2 pirate anyways.

Thank god for no dutch, even translating some terms for fun in dutch sounds hilarious. (obviously since market is too small for the dutch speaking community)

I totally agree and the sad thing is it's forced because of money - if English would be free to choose people would import games from for example Poland what would lower sales somewhere else.
This is why I am sure we won't see any downloading like Kaniol wrote happening.

If only voice actors could at least sound not retarded but natural :/ belief that computer games are mainly for kids is huge factor here imo, it's also what saved W3 translation - the exception that proves the rule.


edit: lol I love 1st comment under this news
Even with all my love to my native language...

It's not suitable to Star

It's like to shave a horse, paint it in black with white stripes and proudly say - zebra :/
