Demonwing13 at GamFAQs was kind enough to give his translation/paraphrasing of the Polish spoken in this video:

Before us is gameplay of the SC2 campaign. I'm not the one playing the game, just recording the commentary.

Here we see Jim Raynor's battlecruiser Hyperion being attacked by the Zerg after retrieving a mysterious artifact of the Xel Naga from the Terran Dominion's archives

Here we see how talking to NPCs looks. This is what we'd like to show the most, how the game looks between missions; a conversation with a Marine [Tychus]

This is the base - We can talk to people, leave, and at the table in the middle, go on missions

1:17

We can also talk to this dude to get mercenaries, the only one we have access to so far is this special Marine. We can change the background music playing, and by clicking on the TV, we can watch something.

Now we're in the lab - We can do optimal readings [Tests I guess] on members of the opposing races. However, in the demo we played, it wasn't active so we don't know how it works or what it does.

1:58

This is what happens when we activate the artifact that Raynor stole. Once again though, most of this is blocked out in the beta so nothing happens.

This is the armory, where we can buy upgrades for units. Of course, the units are different from the crystals [minerals] and gas that we gather during missions. Raynor gets money by finishing tasks and missions. There are units you can buy, as well as upgrades - Weapons/armor and other stuff.

Now we start a mission - We have two missions to choose right now, on two different planets. We start the first one on planet Agria(?), and some woman is asking us for help to evacuate this planet that was taken over [Decimated] by the Zerg.

3:00

This is all, as you see, rendered in real-time. The content between missions in SC2 is rather revolutionary, and makes up for splitting the game into three parts.

Now we start the mission, with three Firebats and a Medic. As with many missions in Starcraft [1], we start with a few units and eventually get a base. We fight with the Zerg - a few Zerglings are attacking us.

Here on the left we see the characteristic cyborg woman who was also in the original Starcraft. These are the tutorials, as long as an encyclopedia to check the parameters of your units to see what they are strong against, weaknesses, etc.

4:06

More Zerglings are attacking

We find the group of people that we have to evacuate from this planet, and take control of their base as in SC1. We have now SCVs that can gather resources, make buildings, etc - the normal stuff that we are used to from Starcraft and we have already seen in Multiplayer videos.

This is all we've managed to record for you guys of SC2 from Blizzcon 2009

I really want this game

I've always wondered when I see these videos, basically there are mercenaries hanging out on the Hyperion? Or is that a bar on the ground? It seems a little strange, a Battle Cruiser should be like a military boat, but on the other hand when Zergs are running around and the budget is tight it might be best to just rent out rooms and hire whoever you can afford when you can.

Personally I'm not too fond of the idea of hiring mercenaries myself..

I don't think that those mercenaries are ON the Hyperion. Only this one guy you see in the video, he 'has the connections' probably. But hey, I'm just speculating.

Well for starters, Jim Raynor is not in allegiance with Mengsk or the UED, and that concludes the fact that they are considered as Vigilantes/Mercenaries/Freelancers.. Whatever purpose Raynor is plotting, He is doing it for himself and for the better I suppose. And in these times of conflict, I guess one will have to do everything to achieve his goal, even hiring recruits/mercenaries to get the job done.

I look forward to how Raynor will bring the terran to its downfall nyahahaha!!!!
