Hello. Before, I had a European account of Starcraft 2, where I logged in to my account in both SC2 and Galaxy editor and used them without problems.
Now, though, the European trial pass I had ran out, so I got a North American one. I downloaded the American version of the Starcraft 2 program (with corresponding Galaxy editor) and installed it.
After finishing the install, I get the latest patches and log in to the Starcraft 2 Game without problems, into my new American account. Later, I close the game, and open Galaxy editor. Again, this goes without problems, I can log in to my new account there too.
However, when I try to 'Test Document', the game opens and says that "You must connect to Battle.net from either the Editor or from the game before testing a document" or something similar to that, then it leads me to the login screen. I made sure that I was already connected to my account on the Galaxy editor.
Now, I did some more testing: Whenever I am in the game, logged in and everything seeming okay, but then opening the Galaxy editor and logging in there as well, I get this message in the game: "You have been disconnected because your account has logged in on another computer." And the exact same message appears when I do it the other way around, log in first in Galaxy editor then in the game (then the message appears in the galaxy editor obviously).
So, there seems to be an incongruity or incompatibility between the Galaxy Editor and Starcraft 2 itself, where both are trying to connect to the same account but doesn't recognize each other correctly. Obviously it is extremely frustrating for me, since it makes it impossible to actually test any maps. I have tried dragging map files onto the Starcraft icon, nothing happens.
As I mentioned, I switched from EU version to NA version of the game (including Galaxy of course).
Now, when I write code in the Trigger editor, it turns up as a Syntax Error whenever I enter some text, because it isn't localized (I think). It turns up as "Param/Value/342708EE" for example, instead of a text I have entered as for example a tooltip to some dialog item. So... whatever the problem is, it seems to have something to do with the switch from EU to NA, perhaps.
The "Param/Value/342708EE" text you see is actually the content of your "Text" variable. Text variables are only references, and usually they point to a certain position in another file within the map archive that contains the actual text for all the Text constants use in your map. If you try to do something with a string variable instead, this should not happen.
The thing about logging in in one disconnecting you from the other is entirely normal. You can't be connected to Battle.net from two "clients" at the same time, and Galaxy Editor and StarCraft II are both considered as "clients". Sure, it might be annoying, but it's normal and works the way they intended it to as far as we know.
As for your problem with testing maps, I don't know why it would do that, since it always lets me test maps offline. It may be a registry and/or user cache issue. If that's the case, and I would like to insist that I'm really not sure it is, it may be best to completely uninstall the game and manually remove leftover folders before installing again.
I have recently switched from a EU trial pass to a NA trial pass.
I have now tried to reinstall Starcraft 2 (NA version) twice. The same issue still occurs:
Whenever I use the Galaxy editor, and click 'Test Document', the game pops up with a error message: "Unable to validate Starcraft II license. Please log in to Battle.net from the game or editor before proceeding." Then, if I click "Ok" I'm sent back to the log in screen. In other words, it is completely impossible to test maps.
Kanaru, I tried doing that with a map. It didn't change the above problem. I am sorry if my original post wasn't as clear as it should have been.
Yeah DaFranker, it is possible it has something to do with the 'registry' or 'user cache' settings. I am really not too knowledgeable about these things. I tried to clear out Starcraft files before reinstalling, though it is possible I have missed something that could be causing the issue.
...as I have now said three times in this topic, no, I use a trial pass. For the moment I can not afford buying the game as I have to pay apartment rent, school, girlfriend, food, etc. That has nothing to do with my problem so I don't know why you are asking.

Does anyone have any input whatsoever on this?

Open the map with an MPQ editor and copy the contents in enGB.SC2Data into a new folder called enUS.SC2Data.
I'm kind of confused by this post, do you actually own a copy of SC2 (and if so, in which region?) or are you just using trial passes.

So, um, you don't actually own the game?
