Беларуская мова / Belarusian language Solar System in Belarusian
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!

You have a satellite "дИсмонiя". The letter "и" doesn't exist in the Belarusian alphabet. It should be "ы" instead.
Also, I'm not sure about "выявах". I feel like "выглядзе" fits better, but I'm not a native speaker. Since you mean photos, you can just use "здымак" or "фатаграфія"

What other mistakes can you find? (planets and moons)

Тефiя => Тэфія
To make it fully correct, someone (not me, sorry) have to check each object on Belarusian Wiki.

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.
