Here you go folks... :)
This is a rather simple utility to convert your StarCraft II Locale, into Taiwanese (
which can be used by StarFriend ;)).
Essentially, your locale (enUS, enGB, ruRU, zhCN, plPL, ect) will be copied to Taiwanese, in other words your game will think it's Taiwanese but be in your original locale (around 90% of data will be copied, the other data is loaded by the game from the cache folder, which shouldn't be modified).

http://www.fileserve.com/file/VkdWwQR
http://uploading.com/files/b14emf57/scl_locale_converter.7z/Note:
I have only tested this with the enGB version of the game, it should work with other locales (deDE, enGB, enUS, esES, esMX, frFR, itIT, koKR, plPL, ptBR, ruRU, zhCN), I tried to make it as generic as possible.
There's no readme packaged (I suck at writing help me's), hopefully the tool should be simple enough to use.
Might I suggest the following:
- Backup your game (or better make a copy and convert that).
- Run the tool, point it to your StarCraft II folder (it defaults to the installation directory on first use), click "Next".
- On the next page, one task/action will be selected (these should be self explanatory, only one action can be performed), click "Next".
- Barring any issues (you will be warned), you can now click "Start" to begin converting your game's locale (this process will take a couple minutes as it will backup any files that will be modified)
- Once completed you can close the tool and fire up StarFriend (obviously following the installation steps for that)
- If you don't want to keep the backup files (which could be in excess of 2GB), go to your StarCraft II folder and search for all files beginning with "DarkBlizz" and delete them (perhaps I'll make an option in the next version not to backup any files)
Edit: If your game is installed in "Program Files" (or any other directory that doesn't have write access) please run the tool as "Administrator" (or with an account that has write permission).
Enjoy,

i have the same problem...
能不能吧zhcn移除，这涉及到中国法律问题
Hello,
I have a question, after you done converting do you need Map Cache from TW client and patch game to 1.3.2 or downgrade game if you had installed patch 1.3+?
I don't have free space on HDD so i can't test it :(
Could someone get some screenshots? The parts that i'm mostly missing are the parts that arent in english in the zhTW version that I downloaded, ie the multiplayer lobby and the score screen. Sorry if im missing the point of how this all works haha...
thanks syko... BOOM! :-* just kidding haha
I'll explain in a little more detail (sorry I did leave out a few key points)... :)
You will need update 1.3.2 of
your StarCraft II client.
i.e. If you own the enGB version you will need the enGB 1.3.2 update (sc2-1.3.2-enGB.exe).
If you are doing a fresh install, do the following...
- Install the game, duh :).
- Disconnect from the internet (do not run the game, yet!)
- Update the game to version 1.3.2 for your locale
- Now use the StarCraft II locale converter, convert to zhTW.
- Install the zhTW map cache (links on this site).
- Copy/Install the StarFriend files (links also on the site).
A short-cut, if you don't want to reinstall the entire game:
- You will need to get your hands on version 1.0.0.24868 of battle.net.dll (that version number is for the enGB client, may be the same for others)
- Copy battle.net.dll to your "StarCraft II\Support" folder, overwrite the file!
- Go to your "StarCraft II\Versions" folder, delete any Base<number> folders, after Base18092 (do NOT delete the Base18092 folder).
The short-cut may or may not work.

Is this a problem, as the files aren't hosted on a Chinese website?
If it is a problem, I will gladly remove support for zhCN.

and what kind of joke is that? its illigal to convert the Chinese sc2? lol!
dude you are in an "illigal forums" posting "illigal tools" for an "illigal LAN of your home country" and you are telling me the converter is your problem?????
what kind of joke is that? :D :D :D
...
Update the game to version 1.3.2 for your LOCALE
...
now i know why it was a problem in patching
Thanks sYk0 for info :)
p.s i think a screenshot of the application should be place in the 1st post, after all its a nice one ;-)
and will get mor attention 8)
all works nicely, thnx syko for cool thing)
Can anyone confirm if the lobby and score screen are english? Thanks
Good work btw
Unable to verify the current locale of your starcraft instalation.
step i did.
fresh install +update enSG skip the activation of the game.
any clues or local converter hates my installer

ok syko, im currently having probs. it says, "you have no internet connection bla bla" after inputing the email address(or lan username) on login screen... hmmm... I'll try to fix this... but... do you think it has something to do with the chinese starfriend or english starfriend?
EDIT
after opening server.exe
(http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o340/juanmiguel_galit/1.jpg) check
input name in starcraft 2
(http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o340/juanmiguel_galit/2.jpg) check
press enter
(http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o340/juanmiguel_galit/3.jpg) fail
Im currently using en_GB converted to zh_TW client.
the thing is, I used the chinese starfriend... what mistake did I do?
or do I need a legit client or a cracked client for this to work?
note : I am connected to the internet. why is this happening to me?
Is english starfriend posted by Myst more compatible on your locale converter?
have you place the tw cache in the right place
extract the cache to C:\ProgramData
double check if the config setting is
[ServerInfo]
IP=127.0.0.1
disable internet then open your FW just to make sure no ports are block.
thats all i did if it cant connect to server,

not yet working dude... maybe I'll try to make it work... thanks for the answers..]
edit:
FUCK. cant get it working. I did it all, I followed every single step that you gave us.
used english starfriend put the cache etc etc etc.
it still shows the same message. what the hell.
Firstly, you don't need to disable your internet connection when using StarFriend, StarFriend disables connection to the Blizzard update server (when running the game via "StarCraft II.exe").
Secondly, you don't need to disable your firewall, add an exception for port 1119 and for the StarFriend server and "SC2.exe" (in "Versions\Base18092").
I used my original enGB client to test with StarFriend (I only replaced the files needed by StarFriend).
You need version 1.3.2 of your locale, or the corresponding battle.net.dll for that particular version.
Using another version of battle.net.dll will crash the client.
@miguelgalit, looking at your screenshots, you have enabled "EnableMakeRoom=1" in your server.ini config ("Make Room Function Enabled"), the user name "gg@star.friend" can only be used when "EnableMakeRoom=0", use "xxx.room@star.friend" when using "EnableMakeRoom=1".
Also, please don't quote and entire message, especially when large images are involved, it makes tracking issues difficult.
Got it updated on my other computer , probably just some firewall problems >.<

thanks for the reply, Ill try it again...
didnt work. with make room function disable and gg@star.friend... :'(
Where can I get that battle.net.dll ? Please can someone get me the working version of that DLL ?
Here is my situation: I have legal SC2 EnGB, I have patch 1.3.6, I backed it up, copied starfriend, changed locale, backed up map cache and copied there TW cache, deleted newer basexxx. When I run the server and try to connect it says and looks exactly the same as for miguelgalit.
EDIT: nvm I found it: http://uploaded.to/file/s2vgr3bb (http://uploaded.to/file/s2vgr3bb)
EDIT2: Works just fine, thank you :)
Hi, congratulations for your work. I think it's awesome that people like you cares about us and everybody.!
Again, thanks broth.
I have a question, I have this client "SC2-WingsOfLiberty-enUS-Installer", does the Locale Converter work with it?
PS: When I excecute the game it crashes before entering to the interface. I did every step like you said.

Apparently you are writing a wrong IP in the "config.ini". You said you have a router, are you connected with wireless or through ethernet? Maybe both?
Try writing a local IP, just 127.0.0.1 but first make a ping to it. If this is successful you are in the good way.
Here is what I did and it worked just fine:
Installed EnGB Starcraft2
Updated to latest patch
Changed Locale to TW
Copied Starfriend
Deleted Basexxx folders higher than 18092
Copied the battle.net.dll (see in my previous post) to support (IMPORTANT THING!)
Turned off firewall (you actually doesn't need to do this just make rules)
Started server
Started Starcraft and connected
If I had problem with friend connecting to game I had to ping him first, he had to ping me and then everything worked just fine

the Ip in the notepad is in default.

Added option to choose destination locale, options are "zhTW" & "enUS" (for StarFriend 0.46).
Added Windows Vista/Manifest for UAC.
Embedded "SFMpq.dll" into resources (the .dll is loaded and used directly from memory).
All download links in the first post.

Cool, can you add support for enUS? Today I tried to use latest version on enUS fresh install which was patched to 1.3.2 and it said it can't determine the locale.
Now instead of using your converter I downloaded the english audio files and 2hrs until my taiwan client finished downloading but it would still be good if you can add enUS for my friends who probably don't want to wait forever for taiwan installer to download :D
go see last version on the official forum .. You will see that the next release that allow to play on your client is more sooon than you think ^^
We are actually testing the 0.53 there ;)
