Hey,
I'm here to talk about something that really annoys my SC2 game experience. I live in Quebec, Canada, and as I want to play the game in French, I had to buy the EU game. Problem, I cannot play with my friends, because of the zoning. I was heard zoning was there to avoid lag in ladder games but I'm forced to play with lags to play in French. I'm kinda screwing up the concept and some games. I basically have to choose between my language and my friends/no lags. Although the choice might be easy for you, it's not for me.
So I wonder, if zoning stays, if Blizzard can make NA server support the game in French. why cannot NA game support French who is an offical language of Canada ?
So I'm posting there because this easy-solved problem makes me unable to play SC2 as I want to.
Best Regards,
Traksor

This forum isnt really read by Blizzard employees. Your best bet is the bnet forums and/or an email to Blizzard. In addition maybe you should PM some Quebecois Pro/semi-pro players and ask them to make this issue known to Blizzard since they are in contact with Blizzard (some blizzard employees).
This is a community forum and a team (Teamliquid) forum not an official avenue, sorry if I seemed a little harsh in my reply.

I think that would be nice for all of the French Canadians. Did you post this is the B.Net forums?

The only way you can have both is to buy two copies of SC2. Frankly, buying the EU version was probably the wrong decision, unless you were only planning to play single player. Your english is good enough that the language barrier shouldn't detract too much from the campaign, and there's almost no reason it should detract from multiplayer.

I'm also québécois and I would just suggest you to pick the english NA version... The voices are all incredibly better than the french version which is absolutely disgusting (I've watched some french streams to hear that). Basically, your experience will be so much more enjoyable using the original language the game was designed for and you'll be able to play with your friends. It was an easy choice for me...  gl
On a sidenote though, I do agree that Blizzard should allow us to play the game in any language we want on our local server.

You can actually use the EU client on NA. There's a nice little tool that you can use called the relocalizer that allows you to use different clients on different servers. You can pick it up here.

I'm currently using the Korean client on the NA server. Supposedly it could be seen as violation of the ToS, but I don't think it's something that Blizzard really cares about and so hasn't been touching. I've been using it for the last few months and haven't had any issues. After new patches come out however you may have to reinstall or fiddle around with it. What I've been doing is relocalizing back to the original version, patching it, editing the relocalizer to be compliant with the new patch, then running it again, and its worked so far for me. There's only a single line that needs to be edited after patching and it has to do with the version number so it's a simple fix.
Hope this helps you.
