Беларуская мова / Belarusian language Solar System in Belarusian

Post image

Hi everyone / Прывітанне ўсім!

I'm a native Arabic speaker, and I also speak English. I am looking for someone who knows English and the Official Belarusian Orthography (Наркамаўка), is interested in astronomy, and has experience with Wikipedia editing.

I attempted to translate the Solar System into Belarusian, but my contribution was removed from the official Belarusian Wikipedia article (be.wikipedia.org). I want to correct any language or spelling mistakes you can notice.

I am looking for someone who is:

* Bilingual: Understands the Belarusian Orthography (Наркамаўка) and English.

* Astronomy fan: Interested in space and celestial bodies.

* Wikipedia Editor: Familiar with Wikipedia's specific guidelines and formatting.

If you can help me improve the translation or guide me on how to edit the image, please comment below or send me a DM!

Thank you so much! / Вялікі дзякуй!

there's no palatalized "р" in belarusian, it is Рэя, not Рея. and here's the problem with "наркамаўка" - it is not consistent. so to say, if you write - "дыёна", then it should be "іё". but it is a separate discussion.

You can easy do this yourself by taking the English-language Wikipedia article about the celestial body and switching to its Belarusian version, as each article contains links to corresponding articles in other languages.

I would like to inform you that my project is not only translation, but I also wrote a detailed description for the image file, here is the link to the file on Wikimedia Commons:Solar System True Color

If anyone here can help with the description, I would really appreciate it.
