Although some guys in my initially post (on r/starcraft) said that this wasn't possible, I did it with success, huge props to the guys who made the region changer!

First step: Download the SC2 Region Changer for 1.5 and change the region of your Starcraft II to Korea (not Taiwan).

Second step: Start your Starcraft and wait for it to finish patching (the patcher and the patch notes should be in Korean now). Afterwards change the region of your Starcraft back to your usual region.

Third step: Go to Documents/Starcraft II/ and open the variables.txt, change the variable
localeidassets=enGB into
localeidassets=koKR, done!

Congratulations, your Starcraft II should be in English with Korean sounds now!

Troubleshooting: If Korea as a region gives you an error try again later. You might try Taiwan as well.

Unlikely, changing the text causes the language pack error.

So we can have text that is available in region where we cane license copy of SC2, and voice localization from any region.

Cool

This is probably a really retarded question but can you get banned for implementing these?

No. You are using Blizzard files for sound, downloaded through the official Blizzard patcher. You are only changing the variables.txt, which you are free to update to your will, and you can never harm the Blizzard servers or playing experience of others by doing that (though you can harm your own, if this ever happens delete variables.txt and launch sc2 for a reset). The program that R1CH made is basically described as a series of commands which will actuate this process, it's the same thing as going in and clicking/typing yourself, but easier for tech noobs (it's a bit more complicated than that).

Yes, it's a language pack. You're downloading 1gb of language voices
