Problem with トルコ - Turkey
When it shows the English meanings of the Japanese word トルコ, it includes the word "Tuerkiye".
However this is wrong. The country did indeed recently changed its official name to Türkiye but the Turkish "ü" cannot be written as "ue" since the Turkish "ü" is considered a distinct letter, collated separately, not a simple modification of letter "u" like in German.
Therefore the English spelling should be either "Türkiye" or "Turkiye" depending on if non-English letters can be used or not.

We should follow up with JMDICT team to see why that is or just switch to new dictionary files.
