The Movie Database Support

I'm trying to create a Estonian website translation, I thought it was ee-EE, but that led me to Ewe, Estonia. Good country, wrong language. When I lookup the code in the language preferences language list, it says et-ET, however, that brings me to Estonian, Ethiopia. Combinations or et-EE or ee-ET don't work either.

HELP.

My best guess is et-EE

ET is ISO 3166-2 code for Ethiopia, so et-ET may be wrong in translation list: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-ET

Could please Estonian, Estonia get proper language code? :)

If you do the search by changing the country code to any other, it will arrive on the same page.
Try it:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-EE
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-BR
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-AA
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-ZZ
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76956-idioot?language=et-

If I am not mistaken, only in 5 cases is the country code valid for the same language.
Arabic, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mandarin (Chinese).
Therefore, when a search is made only the language code, the first 2 letters, are taken into account.
This needs to be confirmed by some moderator.

I also think the correct code is et-EE.
For language the code ee and for the country the code EE.
But it makes no difference because the country code is not being used.
