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.

Click ‘Go’ from the menubar

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.

What do you mean by applying the files? Where to extract the RAR file then? I didn't edit any Inc file(s). Also I don't have 2000, 2001 and 2010 dbc folders.
mons
Could you give me a link to this info please? I'd like to share it
According to the first screenshot in this post, you edited the club name changes lnc file.
I'm sorry but I'm not understanding what your issue is. If you've installed the file correctly, then it all should work well. Can you please read the installation instructions carefully and follow them? There are screenshots in the main post to display how each folder should look, use them as a guide and ideally give me screenshots of what they look like at your end

When I go into the "City. Club and Stadiums"-File the replacing of the #"CLUB with "CLUB is no problem, but then I tried to change the German short club names to their official club names, so that there is "1. FC Köln" instead of "Köln" in the League Table. At the start of a new game my change is in there, but if I save and load this career again, there is just "Köln" again and all my changes are gone.
So isn't it possible, to change some names by my own in the "City, Club and Stadiums"-File?
mons
If you want to change club names already in this download, you need to use the editor to change it in the respective data file. Changes in the editor data file take priority over changes to the same entries in lnc files, so this is the correct way to go about it.
In this case, use the pre-game editor to load the FM20 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - German Club Name Changes.fmf file and then make the changes you want. Once you start a new game, these changes should be in there

No, I'd have mentioned it otherwise

Had a look at this and tested it but doesn't work unfortuantely, even for new careers (in FM20 by the way).
Anything else you can think of?
mons
Moved the previous conversation to this thread, since it's FM20 we're talking about. I'm afraid it does work if done correctly, even for new careers, so there must be something else which should be done from your end.
Can you upload the file containing the changes you've made and a screenshot of the folder it's placed in? This will help me spot what the issue could be.

That's the German-language version of the award. In fact, the entries for the German version have an extra couple of "" which mean that the German language version has become the default version. If you remove them, this change is save-game compatible
mons
Thanks for these, but I'd prefer to have the changes in English. Are the above in Bulgarian or Russian? I'll include them for that language at least
Armagedon_55
Actually is Bulgarian ,but it's good idea to include them on Russian language pack

Contains an lnc file that in turn contains following text:

many thanks as always

I simply can't believe how fast you released this update and that you already added the thing I reported just a couple of hours ago. WOW
mons
It's no big deal, it literally only took me 20 seconds
Joseph Bergquist
Do we just follow the same process then? dlete the stuff in the folders even from the old version and should be okay?
mons
Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders, and replace them with the ones from the download, yes. Same goes for the editor data folder.

Leave it there, don't change it.

What's wrong with the current mirrors? In the (distant) past, mediafire cancelled my entire account for hosting this file, so it's not an option for me, I'm afraid.

Someone knows why?
