Military Database question
Just a general question. Can I ask why in the database countries listing the local spelling is used for Türkiye and not the English spelling Turkey, as with all the other countries listed? For example you don't list Germany as Deutschland, Poland as Polska or Finland as Suomi?

In June 2022, the United Nations agreed to change the spelling of the country known in the English-speaking world as Turkey to Türkiye, heeding a request by the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
