SC2Mapster

Few days ago went a Starcraft 2 Korean event. We learned some interesting things: "Chris Siggarty announced the final closed beta is going to be for around 2 weeks starting in early July.". It is likely that early July means 1st July. There's also a Starcraft 2 branded plane! Source: Team Liquid

SC2Localizer by Hati

Localization is still a really annoying problem. By default all strings are localized to your current language. It is possible, by manipulating the map as a MPQ file, to make the localization global and work for every language. However this is an annoying process to do manually. Hati did a program that takes a map and localize it.

It will make life easier for map makers. As a user, you can use it to play non-localized maps (and report that it's not localized!).
