Este tipo de órgano es de dimensiones reducidas y están especialmente adaptados para realizar el continuo con un grupo instrumental o vocal, así como para el acompañamiento del canto litúrgico. El motor y el fuelle están incorporados en la parte inferior del órgano, facilitando mucho su transporte y desplazamiento.

2' Fifteenth stop
(Since Taña has indicated that she doesn't intend to post an answer, I'll do so. The translation suggested in her reference is correct.)
"Registro" is "stop" in English. It's in many dictionaries, and I provide some references in this previous question (the other way round):
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/music/6195925-...
The 2' (2-foot) part means that this is a stop in which the note that sounds is 2 octaves above the note played. I'll repeat what I've said on this on the other question, on the 8' Regal stop. An 8' (8-foot) stop is one that sounds at "unison" pitch: the note you play is the note you get. The name refers to the approximate length of the pipe(s) for the lowest note. The shorter the pipe (and therefore the vibrating air column when it's played), the higher the note. As with a string, half the length means an octave higher. So a 4' (4-foot) stop is one that sounds an octave higher than the note played, a 2' (2-foot) stop sounds two octaves higher, and a 16' stop sounds an octave lower.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_stop#Pitch_and_length
So with a two-foot stop the note sounds two octaves above, and an interval of two octaves is called a fifteenth in musical language, just as an octave is called an eighth. If you start, say, at C and play all the white notes going upwards, from C to C (both inclusive) is eight notes, and fifteen if you go two octaves.
So a quincena, which is an old-fashioned way of saying fifteenth, is by definition a 2-foot stop. In this sense, 2' is redundant, though I wouldn't leave it out.
A stop called Quincena is called Fifteenth in English, or sometimes Super Octave (or Superoctave). You could leave the name in Spanish, but I think I would translate it; it's a generic name.

And see Taña's reference for confirmation.

Quincena > Fifteenth 2'
Explanation: Fifteenth/Superoctave
A foundation Diapason stop with ranks of 2' on the manuals and 4' on the Pedal, speaking two octaves above the depressed key; it is the Fifteenth by virtue of the intervallic difference, the Superoctave as the octave above the octave".

A stop marked 8', for example, controls a rank of pipes the longest of which is eight feet long.
An 8' stop always speaks at a “concert” or “piano” pitch. A 4' stop sounds an
octave higher, a 2' stop, two octaves higher, and a 1' stop three octaves higher,
Conversely, a 16' stop sounds an octave lower, and so forth.

: Hi Taña. You have given the answer here. How about posting it as an answer? I could do so, but all the essential info. is already here. / You've also given most of what's needed for the other question. I'll answer that one, but I'll remove it if you wish.

Thanks Charles. No, you go ahead and post answers for both. I am rushing to go to work, so I just quickly took a peek! Please go ahead.
