It is not something that I have tried doing, but as far as I am aware, you need to be able to open the map in the SC2 Editor so it would need to be unprotected.
Depends on what you want to do. Do you want to take a map, translate it and publish it again (maybe on another server)? Or do you want to help the map creator with his consent to create an official translation (which can be in the same map and it will just show for people using another language).
What you can do is ask the creator to extract the game text for you. You'll get a file with lots of values like Abil/12813/18="This is a tooltip" or such. Then you can translate it and put it back in.
If you don't have the creator's consent to translate it and republish it, it's probably still possible but we can't help you since we don't support map deprotection (See SC2 forum rules)
Well, I'm not planning to translate myself. I just wanted to know if an unprotected map is required for map translation or not. If you can translate it without unprotecting then it's fine.
I just got to watch the video because even though I was there I was trying to work out tech problems with the chat since I was the social media guy so I was distracted but check it out guys the video is super fucking great!
Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled
