Step 1. Install MacVim

Programs to open S2QL file
Remember to download programs supporting S2QL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacVim with S2QL files
If, despite the installed application, the S2QL file does not start in the MacVim application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MacVim application as the default for handling the S2QL file.
Step 3. Update MacVim to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MacVim program, it is possible that StarCraft 2 Unit Localization Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2QL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The S2QL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S2QL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the S2QL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected S2QL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S2QL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair S2QL file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file S2QL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the S2QL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S2QL to close. However, some background programs may block the S2QL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
