Thanks so much for your interest in expanding the localization of Arduino IDE @lidacity. Although we would love to add coverage for the Belarusian locale, unfortunately this is not possible for technical reasons and so sadly I must decline this contribution.

The approach taken in this project is to leverage the internationalization infrastructure and localization data that already exists for VS Code. These assets are applicable to Arduino IDE 2.x due to the project being built on the Eclipse Theia IDE framework. In this way, the Arduino IDE developers and community are only responsible for internationalization and localization of the Arduino-specific strings (e.g., "Sketchbook") used in the IDE's UI.

The downside to this approach is that the localization of the project is limited to languages for which a VS Code "language pack" is available.

The list of available language packs is here:

https://open-vsx.org/?search=&category=Language%20Packs

As you can see, there is no Belarusian language pack, which makes it impossible for us to add localization for it. This would only become possible if the community created such a VS Code language pack (which would likely be much appreciated by the users of the incredibly popular VS Code application in addition to all the secondary potential consumers of the language pack like Arduino IDE.

I see you are already aware of our Transifex project. If you are interested in contributing over there to any of the other languages for which language packs are available, that would be very welcome.

You might also be interested in contributing to the Arduino CLI localization (which is not limited by language pack availability).
