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.

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.

Ah, you're playing in the French language. In that case, to activate the lnc changes in these files, you will need to do the below steps for all 3 files in the 2040\lnc folder:
a) Open the lnc file with Notepad
b) Choose Edit > Replace
c) Type
" ""
in the first text box and
" "French"
in the second text box
(or copy from what I typed)
d) Click Replace All
I believe that should activate the changes also when playing in the French language.

Don't change nothing. Don't work with a new game
If you have another idea I can try but if not no worries, it's ok. Thanks for you time
mons
A similar process has worked for other users, albeit with other languages (I think French and Italian, for example :yes
Can you attach the files you've changed? Just so I can check you've done the process correctly.

Thanks a lot for these
A couple of questions please:
a) In the stadium file, should stadión be spelt like this or as stadion
b) In the competitions you submitted, 25019588 and 25054613 have the same name? Are they not different competitions? I believe the first one is this competition and the second UID is this competition, so I believe they're right currently. Or is this not the case?
Panna
mons
The part of the fix related to Zebra should have been in place before starting a new game. Can you check that your 2040/dbc/permanent and editor data folders is the same as the one on your PC? Could you upload screenshots of these folders?
Panna
mons
I've never tried that mode myself, to tell you the truth, so it may well be the case.
Panna
mons
Then it looks like the editor data files part of this fix may not work with that mode

Stadion is okey
yeah you mean Supercup (Superpohár in CZECH).....few years ago we had Synot tip Superpohár, this one played the winner of our first league against the winner of our cup. But in 2017 the supecup was changed to Česko-slovenský Superpohár. Now it plays the winner of Czech cup (MOL Cup) against the winner of Slovakia cup (Slovnaft Cup).
The old supercup was cancelled.in 2015.
mons
Since they are separate competitions in the database, the current names are indeed correct. One refers to the old competition and the other to the new competition, and so there is no need to change them
Thanks for all the others - all changed for future updates

This file has got nothing to do with kits so you've either installed this fix in completely the wrong place and messed things up, or you've installed a kitpack in the wrong way and messed things up.
Given the difficulties you've been having in the last few days, you don't seem to be the most technically-minded person, so I'd suggest you consider taking a step back from trying to install these mods as I'm afraid you may end up ruining your game without wanting to...

Most probably, one of the official SI updates has recreated files which this download deletes, meaning the German national team fix is not in place. This can be solved quite easily.
Check that the edt/permanent and lnc folders in your 2010, 2030 and 2040 are exactly the same as the screenshots in the main post. If they are not, download this file and re-apply the fix. The German national team will re-populate with real players the next time that players are called up (i.e. not instantly)
ygeshev
Thank you @mons . After reapplying the fix everything is back to normal.
mons
Good to hear
Remember, whenever SI release a new update or patch, it's recommended to download the newest version of this file to avoid this scenario
Marko12101983
That's rather harsh. I started a new game with Juventus and everything is OK as per the screenshots with the exception of kits.
mons
Excellent
If you have the FM20 Sortitoutsi Licenses Fix - Juventus fixes.fmf file in place, you shouldn't have any issues with the kits displaying properly (as long as they're downloaded and placed in the right place, naturally), as per the 8th screenshot in the main post
It's just that I had issues in the past with users trying to install this file without really knowing what they're doing and who ended up with much more major issues when trying to play the game caused by their botched installation. And given our long-winded correspondence elsewhere about what I thought a relatively straight-forward matter, I thought this might potentially happen to you. Clearly I was mistaken and I'm more than happy to be proven wrong
Marko12101983
Thanks for the support. Check out this screenshot.
mons
And are the kits in place?
Marko12101983
Will send you a screenshot later. The colours are fine for all kits but there is no Adidas logo and Juve's official sponsor Jeep visible.
mons
Looks like the Juve kits aren't installed correctly and you may be seeing just the default kits. Look forward to the screenshot.

Thank you for everything! I have a problem this year:
I started a new game using the editor data files and I believe I replaced the Inc files (I have them for now). I do have Juventus, Japanese teams, etc.
However, I still have three letters name for Brazilian clubs (VIT, FLA...) and I changed the names of the clubs in the Inc files, but it does not appear when i start my game again.
Any idea?
