You can change your Warcraft 3 language only if you met the requirements:

1. A valid CD Key.
2. You have a Battle.net account with your game in it.

So go to Battle.net, and login into your account. Then click on "Manage Game". If you don't have Warcraft 3 in your account, go ahead and add it by entering your valid CD Key.

After that, change Battle.net language. If it's Korean, change the whole website to English, French, Italian, or etc.

Once you have done the above, if or if not, select your game. It should link you to a download link and show your CD Key.

Download the client, install it, and your game is shown in your favorite language.

It translate all wc3 or just the battle.net interface ?
Are we limited ?
I mean for example i can test all wc3 languages ?
Last time i checked you can download the whole wc3 from blizzard shop, but you must link your cd-key with ONE language only.

I ask it, because if we are not limited i will test some things.

Hm...good point.

You can try either one of these:

1. You might need to change your computer system's locale.
2. Just change the interface, download the client, and it should the interface you have selected in Battle.Net.

I used No. 2; I changed mine from Taiwan to USA, used the CD-Key I bought in Taiwan to download an USA client. Now, I can play WC3 in English.

Maybe it has to do with your system's locale, but I'm just 50% sure.

I'm sure we're not limited. It's just a language change, why think of them needing us to pay for it?

My friend had a German copy of Wc3 and installed it with an English Client (using my CD). No problems, just download the client and you're set ^^

Switch all of your MPQ files files for ones in the desired language.

The question is where to get these files ...
AFAIK on the blizzard site you can link your cd key with only one language but maybe i'm wrong, some screenshots would help.

Just login, go to that "Manage Your Game" page, change your language (the red arrow), download the client, install, and you're through.

Hid my CD Key for protection.

Oh well, i didn't found it because i didn't gave my adress ...
I gave a fake one and now i'm able to see it.
But it asks me to choice my language, so i think it will be the same thing, i won't be able to change it :(

EDIT : Yes ...

Less downloading possible, less illegal sharing on the net possible, more buys, more money for Blizzard.

So, did it work?

And they already have WoW, why pay the language change? If that really happens, Blizzard will have to face a lot of moral and freedom of speech issues.

AFAIK once you've choice your war3 language on blizzard site (required to dl the game), you can't change it.

So, you meant to say that once you've chosen your language and download the client, your client is still shown in your operating system's default language, or the language you wanted?

And you should say "choose", not "choice".

I mean, Blizzard offers only one choice of language.
I haven't tried to change my operating system's default language, but i don't see how it could matter, i mean the files inside the mpq won't be changed by some magic vodoo :D

Also, thx for the correction.

Blizzard should be offering many languages...

Dude, it simply converts the language of the page.
But if you mean Blizzard should offer the possibility to download any war3 language, yes i'm agree, but that's sadly not the case.

Certainly, i would be happy to say that helped me, but i can't.
However it's definitely usefull for those who have "lost/broken" their cd.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

  • Varine Varine:
    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
