Re: [Ltru] "X" vs. 'X (macrolanguage)"

I'd favor:

Description: Swahili

A vanishingly small number of people will know what "macrolanguage" means or
how it should be translated, so having it be part of the name would be
clumsy. I also thought we were going to have macrolanguage as a field --
that would be clean way to do it, and if so, then including "
(macrolanguage)" would also be redundant.
