Thread:Project:Translator/Request to be able to translate to kichwa (qug)/reply (16)

We did not start inventing our own language codes, but we decided that macrolanguage will be decided upon on a case-by-case basis. This issue is that the Kichwa Wikipedia will cover all Quechua variants under II-B. Kichwa is the orthography developed for these variants (see Kichwa language). The current "qu" code is used for II-C. We choose the language tag "kichwa" because this will be registered as an IETF tag.

This is the same method as used for "be-tarask": "tarask" is an IETF tag for an orthography.
