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

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.

Remove the FM Scout files. Fixes like these used at the same time can overlap, overwrite and mess each other up, as you have probably released now you've removed the screenshots
It will run fine: https://imgur.com/a/MFc3ezQ

I deleted because it did something wrong with the imgur link and the images didn't show.
Now it should be better.
The 1 & 2 Bundesliga teams are perfectly displayed, if it's possible I would like the same for all teams.
mons

I deleted all FM Scout files, now all Bundesliga names are even shorter.
Is it possible to set all clubs to their real full names? In all screens ( club selection, league table, team screen etc...)?
Now VFB Stuttgart is only Stuttgart, 1. FC Köln is only Köln...
I'm terribly sorry but that is not correct.
mons
To do the bit in bold you need to edit the editor data file and copy the long name text field into the short name text field. Alternatively, you can choose not to use the German club name changes file or delete it altogether, that's the reason why it's in a separate file to other club name changes
Like I explained earlier, the game has two different names for two different types of screens, and this is for stylistic purposes and also for reasons of space. There are instances when the game mentions Stuttgart and others VfB Stuttgart. It's all there in the lnc file and in the screenshot I posted earlier showing the different correct names in different screens

This is the best compromise I could come up with. So this is kept in english but with some of the short names in bulgarian. Beside it being a compromise between english and bulgarian I think it is correct

Yes, I made it work!

Marko12101983
Yes. I don't know what is wrong then...
mons
Can I have a screenshot of your preferences then? Just to be sure.
Marko12101983
Just the interface?
mons
The same section in my screenshot, yeah.
Marko12101983
ASAP...
mons
I PMed you btw, if you want to hurry this up
Marko12101983
Here...
mons
Looks fine again.
Marko12101983
Those are SS kits. Btw, they work for me in FM2019 but not in FM2020. I'm furious...
olivers
i have updated the files now. But in my existing Savegame there is the Problem... that Juventus still called Zebre.
How can i change this in this savegame??
mons
I already answered you here
These files should have been applied before starting a new game, since the only way to change the Juventus name after starting a career is to use an in-game editor.
olivers
mons
It's DLC, meaning you have to buy it on Steam. Or look online to see if there are any free alternatives. Google is your friend. I'm not even sure it can be done with an in-game editor, but I suspect so.
Marko12101983
mons
You don't need to, but it's got a few, relatively minor, changes from the previous version you may want to have.
Marko12101983
Take a look at this link. It's very interesting.
Your text to link here...
mons
What am I supposed to be seeing?
Have you tried using the SS kit files that I sent you? They work even without this fix installed.

How can i change a Club Name in an existing Savegame??? There is no way with In Game Editor and also no way with FMRTE ...
I want to change the Name of Zebre to Juventus F.C
I have installed the Real Name fix... but Savegame started before ...
