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.

Excellent - you can remove the hashtag wholesale by using the replace all function in Notepad. That way you'll be sure that the changes have been effected for all the clubs affected

I´m wondering if there is a way to use this fix in spanish, for example the UEFA Champions League translated to spanish is Liga de Campeones de la UEFA, and if there isn´t any translation, i can help you to translate it to spanish if you are interested (im from Argentina).
Thank you.
mons
If you want to submit Spanish language changes for future inclusion in the file, I'd add them gladly

Is this in an existing save game or a new career? Can I have a screenshot of your editor data folder?

mons
Re-apply the fix to the existing folders and wait for the next call-up
AGW2310
Thank You. Have already re applied the fix just need to await a call up then.
Thanks Again

They are not physically playing in Iceland, obviously, but the league name shows as the one from Iceland.
mons
I've started a new game using these files and checked with the editor and it doesn't seem like the issue you're facing is connecting with this file.
Are there any other teams in this division? Could be an error in competition renaming or team assigning in another file, particularly a Faroe Islands playable league one. "4. Deild" (not in Caps) is a Faroe competition in my files, and the Icelandic pyramid only goes down to the 3. Deild, in fact.
EnigMattic1
Yeah, there are other teams in the division. It is that whole level of the American pyramid. I will open the expansion file in the editor and have a look.
I did see in a separate thread on the si forum that someone else was having a problem with the file and the creator said it may just need verifying again.
I will let you know if that is the case.
sabahudin
Same for me, on my existing save game.
mons
Make sure you download and re-apply the fix correctly. If you think they're fine, can I have screenshots of your dbc/permanent, edt/permanent and lnc folders?
sabahudin
mons
That was quick! Everything looks in order there
And your editor data folder is fine too?
