Does anyone know if SC2 has a system for converting Korean text to English text and vice versa? Granted I know sentence structure and letter character equivalence are non-existent but if Google can do it for 20+ languages, Blizzard is capable of it.

Basically, I'd tend to say
Google > Blizzard,
but anyways, that's just me!

I'd just feel better knowing the korean text actually comes out as korean text instead of random symbols. Not like it matters anyway cause all your going to do is unplug when they zerg rush you within the first five minutes.

Can you not install the korean language patch on your computer, same as for Brood war?

Google also have extensive server farms and many employees dedicated to the task. They also aren't providing translations in real-time.

To say that "Google can do it, so can Blizzard!" is really quite ridiculous.

@Lanthanide- go to google.com/ type in translator/ click first sponsor link/ slap yourself. Google does it in real time and for 34 languages.
@Jack[RCDF- does that language patch translate it into english though?
@Ezterix- Even though the conversion seems random it actually isnt too bad. After spending 3 months on the Korean server i memorized a few things that they would say. Probably the most useful one was "go"

Ah, no, it just turns gibberish into correct korean symbols.

Starcraft 2 is going to be region locked... So you should never play with Koreans!

@ Jack and Ashamed! That is a shame. Seriously, i wish that it would be easy to get a translation and i honestly wish they dont necessarily block us. That is actually a dick move. Korean maps are amazing and i love being able to play on the East and West.

Why would they do that? Reduce lag?

I am not sure if you play in the west or not, but the probably about half of our games are in Korean text, not only is it frustrating and ugly but its a huge waste of games that are listed.
