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 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the downloaded pack
STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2040 folder:

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.

Doing it on Mac on the epic games thing. I've put everything in the right folders.
Is there something, before starting a new game that I need to do??

Only problem with real player Germany & Japan
Other stuff still working good

Can I see screenshots of where you've installed these files?
What database version are you using? 20.4 or 20.1? i.e .are you starting with the January transfers enabled?
Also, did you install the fix after starting a new game?
Finally, can I see your edt/permanent folder?
The Platypus
I copied the dbc, edt and Inc files into these folders 2000, and so on.
And the editor data in here.
mons
Can I actually see screenshots specifically of the 2040 folders of which there are screenshots in the opening post?
Also, I'm not a Mac user so can't be 100% sure, but the path you're using for the editor data files doesn't seem to be exactly the same as the one in the opening post.
The Platypus
It's the only place on my computer where that folder exists?
mons
This is how to access your editor data folder on a Mac (from the spoiler in the opening post):
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’
Can you tell me if when you start a new game (a) what is the name Juventus have, (b) whether the German national team has real players, (c) what is the name of the Champions League, (d) whether Brazilian teams have the correct names?
The Platypus
It's working now, it was indeed the wrong folder!

What do you mean?

The same download replacing the Steam folder in the installation path with the respective one in the Epic Games path
gs1728
Mons I've done it all all over again and the problem still persists.
Only Vasco da Gama, Atl. Paranaense and RB Bragantino have a full name. the other only have a 3 letters name.
How can I fix this?!
mons
a) What version of the game are you running?
b) Can I have screenshots of your editor data folder and of the 2040/dbc/permanent folder?
It's important to note that these files need to be in place BEFORE starting a new game.

Editor Data:
2040/dbc/permanent:
is not a new-save game, i saw the guide for the workaround. works but the "Zebre Stadium" Remains.
mons
The Zebre Stadium fix cannot be done with the workaround after having started a new game, due to the way it was coded by SI, I'm afraid
Justsnooze
so nothing can be done?
mons
It may be editable with a save game editor, but I'm not sure.
Justsnooze
Oh okay

I don't agree with this one.
Still called "Tipping-ligaen" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_3._divisjon

Here it is:
I'm using the most recent update. I'm using Epic Store and it automatically updated the game.

That's not what the screenshot in the opening post looks like, and that is why it's not working as intended, as suspected. Re-install this download, following closely the installation instructions, and you'll be fine
