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.

If you had already used previous versions of this download, you will need to delete the files named:
Susie Real Name Fixes - Abdelhak Nouri removed_6B282152-37E5-4FFE-9159-07277A5FD537.fmf
and
Susie Real Name Fixes - Ajax staff FM18_51792081-6A2F-4EF3-8781-F6D8D9E2A331.fmf
from within the editor data folder as they are no longer needed. Retaining them will see a duplicate complement for Ajax staff members.
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.
Club names 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.

While having the latest version is important and the majority of the changes in it are save-game compatible, there is no real need to start a new game (unless you intended to anyway) as the changes are quite minor and generally somewhat obscure
Basically, download the files and be up-to-date, and continue your existing save-game without any problems

I used this file when i started my game but noticed it didn't change alot of the club names in Portugal and Germany etc.
i Have 1800 and 1810 files.
If i just repeat the procedure, will it work on my saved game?
thanks

To get the full club name changes complement, you need to have the editor data files in place before starting a new game, as in the below screenshot.
For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read this post and follow the simple instructions in there to get the club name changes in your save game in 5 seconds flat.
mons
I'm sorry but that is not the point of this file. If you download the editor, you can do the change you're asking in a matter of seconds

No problem mate.

That's because it isn't there and at no point do I mention it as part of the installation instructions...

Still looks like just an 1810 directory, and I don't think any of the files this fixes updated from what I can see. Figured I'd check though, better safe than sorry.
mons
Yep, nothing to worry about there
Think it's broken mine, just keep getting spinning wheel when loading on the "Football Manager 2018" screen. Should In just re-download the 14 Dec file and replace?
troyka
Definitely getting the same infinite spinning wheel when loading on startup as well. I tried redownloading and replacing the 1800/1810 files from 14 Dec and same effect. Please advise!
I replaced in both 1800/1810 files and the editor data files and it's working now, so maybe try the editor data if you haven't?
However, I'm now missing letters from certain titles on screen – anyone else had this?
mons
Also, @Richard Preston, that issue is not affecting me and I haven't heard anybody else it's affecting so it could be a game bug rather than something related to these files, which don't edit those particular club names either...

you have to update the Ajax Staff file since now Reiziger is the Manager and Bogarde is the Assistant

Are they? They're only there as caretakers, as far as I can tell.

Yes, it's true, but they can be definitively.
But as for these 3 (Marcel Keizer, Hennie Spijkerman and Dennis Bergkamp) can be removed, left the club
