I suggest everybody clicks the "Notify me when updated" button to receive an email when the file is updated/amended in the future.
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 2016 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 FM16.
Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this version of this file
Step 1: Go to
PC
Slightly more detail in this post
Linux
Android:
Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the path above
Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folders 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 "FM16 Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net v2.1".
Step 7: Paste the circled folder directly into the folder mentioned in step 5.
Take care to remove any previous versions of this file
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, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMC. There's a workaround for that in the first post.

Have you tried using winrar to extract the file?
I don't see how the game can be unplayable, frankly, even if you have deleted the edt and lnc folders. They are purely optional files. If you have deleted the actual database, then you've got nobody to blame but yourself tbh. Thankfully, if you still somehow can't manage to download the file, then you can "force" the game to re-download the files you have deleted by verifying the integrity of the game cache in Steam. Watch this video to find out how.
nad star
download winzip free trial or the one the guy above said - the file isn't a "file" really until you have a zip program which means you can see the folder and files inside.

I'm afraid I wasn't given permission to include the UK media file in this download, sorry
If you want to retain the existing files in the 1600/dbc folder, just delete the Licensing.dbc file
Thanks for these, I'll add them in any upcoming version of this file

Perfect, cheers!

It's in the editor data file already; just needed to be amended accordingly in the lnc file.
In simpler terms, if you start a new game now with the existing files, its name will appear as you are saying, i.e. correctly.
emre86
For example: "FIFA 20 Yaþ Altý Dünya Kupasý Altýn Eldiven" should be like this "FIFA 20 Yaş Altı Dünya Kupası Altın Eldiven".
I have uploaded correct Turkish translation files of V2.1 below.
Please, add my Turkish translations in your shared files. Thank you.

Which mirror are you downloading from? Can you try using a different mirror?
And what program are you using to open the file?
RCP
I've tried all of the mirrors that were available which makes me think it's something that I'm doing? I've tried 7Zip opener and RAR opener and both say the file may be damaged

If you started a new game and the issue is still present, then I'm afraid it looks like you didn't install the file correctly.

Flamengo and SI are disagree about Licensing.
Solution:
Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1600\dbc
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2016\data\db\1601\dbc
find ''Licensing.dbc'' and delete
