I remember installing a Chrome Extension that gave you the ability to translate any website into the language of your choice. Since I had so many extensions installed and rarely visited websites in other languages, I un-installed it. Today, I had a chance to visit a website which was in Spanish and suddenly a small pop-up showed up on my screen (on top) confirming if I want to translate the website into English. I thought, it’s the plugin or a website feature but nop! I found out Google just released this auto translation feature and it was all over their blog.

I’m a big fan of starcraft 2 and am anxiously waiting for the proper game to come. Since it’s blizzard, I know it’ll take time. Good thing is they “atleast” started the beta where chosen players could try out the game, check for bugs, let them know how it can be improved etc etc. Superb news is that Internet geeks and hackers found a way to play the beta (offline) vs AI. Keeping it short, here’s how to;
1- Download Starcraft 2 Beta From Torrents or from your Battle.net Profiles. (Download link)
2- Download Lazy Launch. (Download Link). Note: Previous lazy launch executable had a trojan but this one doesnt.
3- Download the map pack . (Namely:Starcraft 2 Beta Login Bypass, Cache, and Replays)
4- Install the game and run it. It will update it to the latest patch. After that close the game and run Lazy Launch. It will take you to your explorer, choose the map you want to play and that’s it.
Remember, it will automatically choose a race for you and the AI. If you’re not comfortable with that, just restart the game (again and again for your favorite race).
