This file will need to be re-applied if/when official 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.
Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in the Beta, FM Touch 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 2018 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. The latter 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. Due to licensing reasons, the number of Ajax non-playing staff is quite small and this file contains a fix to restore them. 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. 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. The Japanese national team will be populated along the same lines too, but any Japan-based players are not in the official database and need a third-party add-on to be created and added.

I'm afraid this is a hard-coded licensing restriction for Portuguese clubs; the only way to edit names is using the editor data file and editing club names through an lnc file is not possible.
fabiognascimento
I got it, @moms !
Am I the first one who noticed that long name of portuguese teams can not be changed by lnc file?
mons
I don't know who moms is
No, it's been the case for the last 4-5 years ever since Portuguese club names were changed for licensing reasons. I've left them in the file in the hope that one year SI re-enable lnc changes for them...
fabiognascimento
Got it, mate! Thanks for the answer and sorry for typing your name wrongly, @mons !
fabiognascimento
One last question, @mons .
As spanish and german teams have also this same issue of licensing, why is it possible to edit their long names in the lnc file?
mons
SI must have had different licensing arrangements in place specifically for Portugal, but obviously this is only speculation.
Belfemor
first : thank for your work
mons
This file does not add Japan as a playable league, nor the other 2 countries you mentioned. You need to download files like claassen's (do a search of the forum) to possibly enable them.
Belfemor
yes i have dl this files, but i talk about Japan in term of nation
mons
I see. There needs to be 150 eligible players loaded in a save game for a national team to be able to be managed. Unless you've loaded all Japanese players, it's unlikely this number is reached since there aren't many Japanese players in the database. This file only allows real players to be called up, but doesn't add any new players to the database. If you want to do so, you need to use this file, which adds players in the top 3 tiers of Japanese football, and also allows you to manage in Japan.
Belfemor
ok ok ^^ thank for link and advices man
mons
No worries, you made yourself understood and that's all that matters

This is the club's official website. There is reference to Red Bull Salzburg all over the place, including the URL, the logo and text throughout. Can you tell me where you got this info from please?
All I know is that, for licensing purposes, they cannot be referred to as Red Bull Salzburg in UEFA competitions, but that is their full name wherever I've looked elsewhere.
SienKo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Red_Bull_Salzburg#The_Red_Bull_takeover ( The red bull takeover )
Thus they have 2 names and 2 logos for this season. I think that it is not possible of coded that it changes in game according to the competition?
mons
No, it isn't. And given that the whole point of these files is to remove licensing restrictions, it wouldn't make much sense to have the name in that way
SienKo
Ok thanks for you answer and your job
PinkHoverboard
Hi Mons, fair enough on the WAL versions, but either way Merthyr should be the shortened version (I'm only using your editor files
mons
There's the old Merthyr in the database still, and you can't have 2 clubs with the same name...
haykirish
latest version. I corrected my mistakes.

I need to know specifically which entries you've changed from your last submission, so that I can copy them only and not the whole lot.
No idea, I only have FM Classic. I suspect some of it may but not the editor data files. Why not try and let us know?
Oh dear, will fix this for the next update.
Thankfully, this is save-game compatible so all you need to do in the meantime is open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file with notepad and find 117250, and replace it with 53136988.

Anyone knows a way to make this work in the IOS FMT version?
When i acess FMT18 via itunes i have acess to the following folders:
- chanllenfes
- custom pools
- db setups
- editor data
- exported teams
- filters
- games
- graphics
- languages
- match plans
- matches
- pictures
- set pieces
- shorlists
- skins
- tactics
- uploads
- views
I've try to put the content from the "editor data" folder from your zip file into the "editor data" in the Ipad, but nothing happen. Still the same team and competition names.
The others files from the zip file, i don't know where to place them. Any ideas?
mons
What I can say is that is the folder structure where the editor data files should go; are you starting a new game after applying the files? A screenshot of where you placed them would help.
Secondly, the game itself is installed elsewhere, you need to find that location
Keyzer Soze
Thks for the reply.
I did start a new game, but there were any effect.
About the location where the game is installed, my Ipad is not jailbreak, so i can't acess any others files/folders apart from the ones mention above.
Perhaps only with a jailbreak devide it's possible...

Inter Baki (485430) club name is changed
Club Name: Keşlə FK
Club Full Name: Keşlə Peşəkar Futbol Klubu
Sources: https://twitter.com/keshlafc & https://www.facebook.com/keshlafc/ & http://www.keshlafc.az/
mons
Thanks for this, I'll make sure to fix it in the next version
The only thing I may have to change from your suggestion is to make it Keshla instead of Keşlə, going by the names of the other Azeri clubs, but I'll have to check on that.
