The English word for Turkey is Turkey, not some unpronounceable thing with dots over the letters.

The English word for Deutschland is “Germany”. The English word for Mumbai is “Bombay”. The English word for España is “Spain”.

Using foreign words for some but not all foreign countries is an affectation.

You expect a Turkish site to NOT use their own spelling?
