Does Warcraft III Alterno have an English release?

I was looking for a new custom campaign to play and saw this one mentioned, which starts with the premise that Arthas let Uther and Jaina talk him into letting the Lich King add all of Stratholme to his army and goes from there. When looking for a download link Google's AI tried to tell me this campaign already has an English release. I'm thinking this is an AI hallucination because I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but did find 2.0 in Spanish. If it doesn't have an English release AND it's not too much of a pain in the ass to translate it in the editor I may take a stab at it. But if it's already been done, that would be better. :ogre_haosis:
 
Most custom campaigns available in this site were in English only. It's pretty much hardcoded to make it non-English version.

The main reason about that is: One might experience unwanted issues about in-game localization (missing character's name) when you attempt to play it with non-English version of the game.

If you are using the latest Battle.net patch, it is possible to switch between multiple languages in-game. This can be done through Battle.net settings.
 
I jumped in with everything set to English and all new text related to the campaign is still in Spanish. That is what I assumed would happen and why I asked if anyone has gone through the trouble of making an English version yet. I'm open to translating it if no one else has. I'm used to translating books, so this obviously a lot less text. Frankly, as someone that has been overwhelmed by RTS map editors to the point of not even knowing where to start, I'm more worried about finding the text to change in the editor than I am about doing the actual translating.
