Problem/Motivation

The UN adopted a new spelling for the country of Turkey and changed it to Türkiye in June, 2022. The ISO also changed it's spelling in ISO 3166-2:TR is the entry for Turkey (spelled "Türkiye") in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO),

The list of iso codes in /includes/iso.inc, line 251 maintains the old spelling, which cascades through the platform through various modules.

Steps to reproduce

Open /includes/iso.inc and look at line 251

Proposed resolution

Change the spelling in /includes/iso.inc line 251 to: Türkiye

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

None

Release notes snippet

Changes spelling of the country of Turkey to Türkiye to conform to UN and ISO naming standards.

I don't know about Drupal 10, client maintains a Drupal 7 code base. The change should probably be applied to all current versions of Drupal.

Drupal 9 and 10 still say "Turkey" so please open an issue for branch 10.0.x-dev and relate it to this issue. More on this rule: https://www.drupal.org/about/core/policies/core-change-policies/backport...

Here is a similar issue where the updates to the country list in D7 are considered: #2666186: Missing countries in _country_get_predefined_list

I agree that the decision about renaming the Turkey should be made together with D9/10, but the source for the country list seems to be different in D7 and D9/10 (ISO/mix vs CLDR).

I have created the issue for D9/10 so this can be closed now I guess.

Thanks. We can keep the D7 issue open as well, in case we will decide to update the country list also here. D10 country list is based on different source as D7 (ISO/mix vs CLDR), so these issues are practically independent.
