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, do NOT apply in 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 2020 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 German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach managers have fake names. 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 (including Juventus) 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.

STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

STEP 5
PASTE to
Open Finder
Click ‘Go’ from the menubar
Press and hold down the ‘Option’ (Alt) key
This will bring up the ‘Library’, click to enter then go to ‘Application Support’ -> ‘Sports Interactive’ -> ‘Football Manager 2020’
This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; 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, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players, who are not in the official database and will 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.

No, because I'm not aware there are any needing to be changed, particularly due to licensing issues.

You don't need to have an editor data folder inside the editor data folder, like your setup. All the .fmf files should be directly in Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2020 / editor data, and not in a sub-folder.
Erm, not sure how you're seeing them as Holland

Brazil names coming up as 3 letter words for ex CruzeiroCruzeiro Esporte Clube is CRU in game

Hi mate. I looked at all of these at FM 2020 Beta.
You're right about the name length of University teams. You can do them as you see fit. As far as I understand, the problem with the length of the team names continues in the FM 2020. SI could not find a solution.
Also do not doubt about the 5 team names you wrote at first. (Ulalar, Haymana Bld., Isparta 32, İlimtepe Kullar, Kütahya Çakırsazspor)
mons
Thanks for that
For the avoidance of doubt, are you saying the below are correct?

What about 70094988 "Haymana Bld."? What should the long/short names look like?

We can arrange it this way, if possible.

That's bizarre, will remove it
Obyt14
It's bizarre indeed!
Also the stadium for RSC Anderlecht is called "Lotto Park" not "Lotto Arena"
mons
It seems to have been present in the FM19 file as well
I've added the Anderlecht stadium fix. As both were spotted quite close to release and since very few time has passed, I've added them to the fix and reuploaded it with them included
Bearded Shrimper
Not a Mac, no. Hopefully these screen shots explain where I'm at

I think I put the editor data in the wrong place, in Programme Files rather than My Documents
mons
Yep, put them in the Documents area where they're supposed to be and you'll be fine
mons
That's got nothing to do with this patch, I'm afraid, and it's not really something which can be solved through anything this file can amend
After a bit of trial and error, it appears that the kits in the main menu and boardroom are the ones displayed during the match, rather than the ones displayed in the team's profile page. Looks like you may have the latter only in place instead of the former...

Only if you're particularly pedantic about wanting the Juventus U23 short name and the main team's stadium displayed correctly, as well as an array of mostly minor club name changes
