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 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all 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 Brazilian, 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. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. 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.

All changes should be save-game compatible, apart from possibly the Brazilian club names I think.

Hey man I'm going to be doing this process tonight when I start a new game. Can you talk me through how to change red star back to red star if it does change their name. Cheers mate.
mons
Can you tell me what exactly it is that you want to change, i.e. what it's like now and what you want it to look like.

Portuguese club name changes are hardcoded to not be editable via lnc files. Like Brazilian kit colours, the change for this will have to wait until the editor is out and/or the game allows editor data files to be used.
I'll add it to the OP as it slipped my mind.

Noted, will be changing it for the full version of this file

Thanks

I've done the real names fixe and the name for Red Star Belgrade has changed to Crvena Zvedza which I want to change back to Red Star Belgrade. Thanks.
Crpls
Really? They're changed in my Beta.
mons
Open the lnc file titled City, Club and Stadium Names and do a search for "Crvena Zvezda". Either delete that line (and that line only) or put a # in front of it.

Does that file need to be opened with notepad?

Thanks, and it's save game compatible?

What have you done to get the correct names for the Brazilian clubs? Anything different during the instalation process? I have installed the file and everything seems to be working fine, except the Brazilian clubs names. I have attached a screenshot of my dbc/permanent folder if it helps. Regardless, awesome job!
Cheers
mons
Is that the 1900 or 1901 dbc/permanent folder? This particular fix needs to have a new game started to take effect btw...

Cheers mate, all working fine thank you!
mons
Excellent - do remember to update your files when the full game comes out and the full version of this file does too
Leonardo Vieira
Just like you said, I just needed to create a new game. Everything is working fine now.
Thanks!

Thanks for this; any more you find please let me know. For now, I only checked team names up to Serie D. Once the FM19 editor is released, I'll be in a better position to check all the other divisions and make any changes I find out. But of course, I appreciate any help you or anybody in the know can give me

Wherever possible, I copied SI's own names as used in previous databases prior to the current licensing issues...

I won't do any competition changes as they will conflict with the more thorough and in-depth ones released later on after the game's release. This fix only changes Italian club and competition names.
I've taken note of this ahead of the editor's release
