Many belarusian translators for FOSS software are on the list and we invited Bruno Haible to help us on the topic. Upon the discussion results, I suggest introducing a new locale named be_BY@classic for the Belarusian classic writing which is the only productive (in the linguistic sense) writing in Belarus nowadays. This matches the advice of Bruno. Whoever will commit this change should contact him if more details are required. Petter Reinholdtsen has also been included in the dicussion but fell off pretty quickily.
