Incorrect transliteration of almost all cities. In transliteration of city names was used the Russian variant of city names and transliteration instead of Belarusian. And the absence of many districts .There are 63 districts out of 118
Could you provide an example of the correct translation for the regions and districts? We usually refer to Wikipedia, and aim to use Latin letters, not Cyrillic. A full list would be very appreciated if possible.
As for incomplete districts: we try hard to do them all, but it is a huge workload and the first ones made are the most populated. We will try to get the rest of the belarus district flags if we can find good source images for them.

I have fixed the names for the 7 regions, but going through each district and town will take some time. This is because it is difficult to determine which places are already completed. I hope your spelling is correct, and there are not any typos.
I took official transliteration from the Belarusian Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_on_transliteration_of_Belarusian_geographical_names_with_letters_of_Latin_script ) , if there are questions, I will gladly answer them.
