What this means for you

This change corrects a language label in the document's interface menu and does not alter the content, obligations, or rights described in the Usage Guidelines itself. Turkish-language users will see 'Türkçe' (the language name) instead of 'Türkiye' (the country name) in the language selector, making the label technically more accurate.
