TREK NOTES:
In TOS the confusing system of galactic "quadrants" were subdivided into sectors, but by TNG we saw the four quadrant system become standard.  For more information, see:
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Quadrant   
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Alpha_Quadrant 
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Beta_Quadrant 
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Gamma_Quadrant 
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Delta_Quadrant 

AFAIK we have no idea how to refer to them in tlhIngan Hol - {jogh wa', cha', wej, loS} perhaps?  For that matter instead of four {joghmey} they may use three, an extension of the three cardinal directions {chan}, {'ev} and {tIng}.  "Quadrant" may turn out to be a very approximate equivalent of scale for navigation purposes.
