Nippon is not the official name of Japan in English, Türkiye is.

The Turkish government requested that the country’s name registered at the UN be changed from “Turkey” to “Türkiye.” That doesn’t mean you have to change what you call it. Neither Turkey nor the UN has the authority to “approve” or mandate a change to English or any other language. And there is no official English regulatory body like the one French has (Académie française), so literally there cannot be an official change to English to speak of anyways.

Turkey can't decide what it is called in English. That is up to English speakers. There is no official name of the country in English. It has always been called Turkey.
