This file will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 15 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.
There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for German, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 26 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.
Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM15.
Or, you can follow the below instructions to install v2.0 of this file (if you are installing a previous version please use the 1500 folder instead of the 1530 folder:
Step 1: Go to
PC
Slightly more detail in this post
Linux
Step 2: Delete the edt and lnc folders from the folder above
Step 3: Copy the edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.
Step 4: Go to:
Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and select the folder named "FM15 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net v2.0".
Step 7: Paste the circled folder directly into the folder mentioned in step 5.
Step 8: This should be what your editor data folder looks like. There may also be a config.xml file in this folder and can be safely retained; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.
To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Club names (including the German ones) are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.
Some of these changes may not apply in FMC...

all the other files in the editor data are the league downloads and data updates. I have reinstalled this file after i downloaded an up-to-date data fix from here. I have pics of the 1500 file under steamapps and the edt and lnc folders. any fix?

However, it looks like the lnc files, which regulate the competition name changes, are placed correctly, and I cannot explain what's wrong there. Can I have an in-game screenshot for the English Premier League and the Champions League/Europa League?

Installation instructions are included but:
a) You can safely use the lnc folder from this download in your 1500 folder - the changes will take effect in your save game
b) Remember that you need to change the 1530 > edt and lnc folders only - don't touch the dbc folder
c) Remember to delete the previous version of this file from your editor data folder as this may cause conflicts. To clarfiy, you should only have v2.0 in your editor data folder.
Enjoy

Should I be updating both the 1500 folder for existing saves, and the 1530 for new games?
mons
Not 100%. The new media files and club name changes will need a new game to be started to take effect, but the remaining fixes are save-game compatible, yes.
Basically, yes, but trying to explain that would surely confuse the hell out of most people. So go ahead and do so

what is the problem?

Persee, I haven't checked it but I doubt it.

Good to hear. It should theoretically work with the lnc files as well. Perhaps 15.3 includes a fix for the bug which did not allow the concurrent use of the Japanese league file and this download
