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 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 2023 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Premier League displaying instead of Premier Division. It will also fix the fact that the German and Japanese National teams don't call up real players. 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 Napoli) and French clubs, as well as Manchester Utd, 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. Another editor data file creates the Ajax non-playing staff and the German national team manager missing from the database due to licensing restrictions. 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:

PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.
These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 2340 folder:

STEP 4:
COPY the 9 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack
STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\editor data
This is also the same folder to be used for Gamepass.
Equivalent folder for Mac
Users/YOUR Mac USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive
By default this folder is hidden, so to access you need to do as follows:
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 2023’
Equivalent folder for Steam Deck
devices / home / deck / .local / share / Steam / steamapps / compatdata / 1904540 / pfx / drive_c / users / steamuser / My Documents / Sports Interactive / Football Manager 2023 / editor data
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 English Premier Division in your saved game, and it should be renamed to Premier League. If you are in the middle of a save-game when you install this download, Japanese and German 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.

Some modifications and all new awards names fix for Portugal Liga 1, 2 and 3.
* I did a little mistake :
"AWARD_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 200017254 "Defesa do Mês (Liga Portugal)" ""
"AWARD_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 83292928 "Prémio Neto - Prémio Fair-Play da Liga Portugal bwin" ""
"AWARD_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 83292930 "Prémio Neto - Prémio Fair-Play da Liga Portugal SABSEG" ""
Replace by this

Can this be included?

Thanks @pereiraagb, @Zangor and @Vassilis_3 - all added ahead of any future releases 👍

Lot of international competitions in French here.

Hi Mons..I have a question.The last version I used was 1.2 .Should i use version 2.0 now? Is there much change? so is it worth to open a new career?If I'm not mistaken, it was necessary to open a new save for most of the names to be valid.
mons
Subscribe to the thread, so you get notified when a new version comes out and you can then install the latest version and avoid having to worry about it 😉
Install it, and you'll get all the changes that are save-game compatible 👍
It's not necessary to start a new game, though.
Thenry61
I was checking the thread from time to time but thanks for the advice.
Now if I apply the new version, what kind of “names” will change in my saved game?I wondered.
mons
I don't have a list of changes, sorry. Just download the file, and get whatever changes have been done 👍
Thenry61
Thanks for your feedback.I mean actually, is it necessary to open a save for all the changes made?so normally.I guess you said you don't need to open a new save because there are no big changes.
mons
My man, I'm running out of ways to answer the same question.
Thenry61
😀😀 Sorry bro i stretched the thread.Thank you again…

Mac user, since the latest update, team names are still coming up as default (Manchester UFC, etc). I reinstalled the fix twice, still no luck. I've only been trying my main save, haven't tried starting a new game. Hoping there's a fix to this!
mons
Use this workaround to solve the issue in your existing save game.
icedgate
Thanks a lot it works well, but I don't know why suddenly in my save, all Brazilian teams are not in a right name but all others such German, Italian teams….. they are correct with correct players in the national team.
I use Mac, and placed the fake name file correctly
Please tell me what's happened. thanks
mons
Make sure your dbc/permanent folder is the same as the one in the main post. If it isn't, then you need to reinstall this fix.
Can I have a screenshot of it, as well as your editor data folder?
icedgate
here you go, thanks
mons
I asked for the dbc/permanent folder.
icedgate
mons
And does that look like the folder in the main post?
icedgate
U are right, thanks, just forgot to reinstall the fake name file after reinstall the game
thanks
ryhuuu
KAA Gent is written as AA Gent
ciri
Napoli and Lecce have other name?
mons
There's no changes in this download to the default Gent club name. Are you running some other files which might have edited this perchance?
So is Monza/Brianza. Did you install this fix after starting a new game? If yes, you need to do the very easy workaround in the first post for club name changes to take effect.
Real Betis C
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 67142513 "Real Betis C" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 67142513 "Betis C" ""
UD Ibiza
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 4212168 "U.D. Ibiza" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 2000205971 "U.D. Ibiza B" ""
Real Oviedo Vetusta
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 1740 "R.O. Vetusta ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 1740 "Real Oviedo Vetusta ""
ciri
No, just delete the old files and put the new ones, but don't start a new game
mons
Then you need to do the workaround linked to earlier 👍
