This is a confusion of notions: typically "the allies" refers to WWII while "central powers" refers to WWI

Before WWI Germany made the triple-alliance with Italy and Austria-Hungary.

Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire joined the alliance, against the Entente with UK, France and Russia. Other countries joined the Entente too.

When Italy swapped sides in 1915, the remainder of the German war alliance was called the central powers. WWI started 1914 and reached armistice in 1918.

In WWII the term "the allies" was used about those fighting with the UK against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan, with their collaborators).
