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 and when the full game comes out 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in FMT or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.
The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2017 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 and Japanese National teams don'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, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most 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 the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

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.

Open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file with Notepad (on Windows) and TextEdit (on Mac). All the changes I've made in the editor data file are included in this file, however they are preceded by a hashtag (#) which makes the lnc file ignore any text following it.
You can remove the hashtags from in front of any of the "CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" and "CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" codes which you wish to change, and this will display these changes in your save game.
For Notepad, all you need to do is: Select the edit menu, click the replace option, type in the first field and in the second and clicking replace all. Then save and close. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds if you do it right
Basically, instead of

Thanks, but had to delete this

Really. The files and the instructions are identical to the ones in previous versions. What isn't working exactly?
JoeFC
Download now -> no file
nsbkort
Following the instructions exactly as described. The files downloaded should go in both folders 1700 and 1701 right? Anyways, when starting a new game the league names for Germany is still 1 division and so on, not Bundesliga.
mons
That's definitely wrong. Can you upload a screenshot of either of the lnc folders?
nsbkort
Screenshot
This is how it looks like in the folder (Inc + the 2 subfolders insde) without your files.
KingKonga
I have exactly the same issue. Tried the second Bundesliga and there are still some names wrong (Berlin Köpenick for example).
Edit:
It's working, it's just an error in the first display, everything is properly displayed when picking any nation or club.
mons
That's not how it should be now after applying the download. The new lnc folder should contain the three files from this download.
For the club names, I'm afraid it's not possible to fix them in the usual way in the beta. There's a workaround in the OP for it.
zehessc
Edit: Nevermind, will try to workaround from the first post for now

It says we should delete dbc, edt and Inc from the folders 1700 and 1701. Then copy the files from the downloaded file into dbc, edt and Inc into folders 1700 and 1701? The downloaded files only includes 3 folders, dbc, edt and Inc.
Persee
mons
That's right. The files in your screenshots are the ones in the default installation and not those in this download
This is how it should look like if you do it correctly.

ToMadeira
add .rar at the end of the name file
its missing the file extension
nsbkort
You asked for a screenshot of the Inc folders, you didnt mention if you wanted me to add your files or not.
Anyways, i should delete the folders dbc, edt and Inc in the folders 1700 and 1701 right? Then i unzip your files, and copy the files first to folder 1700, then i copy again into 1701 right?

Edit: just read the rest of the comments and saw the workaround.

Can you send me a screenshot of your dbc/permanent folder and of the fake Spanish club names? Not seeing it at my end

It is not working the best. The name of competition bundesliga is work, but names of clubs arent good. Any solutions to fix that?
thank you
mons
I can't fix it in the old method as the game is still in beta and the it isn't reading editor data files necessary for club name changes. As an alternative, you can read the first post for a workaround...
juncopartner
I wonder if it's possible to fix the spanish club names myself by just writing the code to the Inc files with the real long and short names and a proper club id?
mons
Hmmm, this is not something I had noticed before, so thanks for pointing it out. This issue affects the top and second tiers, as well as the regional third tier (which has 80 clubs). I'm copying over the club long and short names manually from the FM16 editor and I've collected the names for the top 2 divisions already. I hope to have the file amended in the next couple of days
Yes, but it's something already in hand. Although if you want to send me anything you collect, then all the better
