Belarusian Transliteration Online
Convert Belarusian Cyrillic into Latin letters and back. Use it for Belarusian romanization, Lacinka-related spelling checks, names, texts and readable Latin output.
Belarusian Cyrillic to Latin transliteration
Convert Belarusian Cyrillic text into Latin letters. The output is useful when Cyrillic is not available or when a Belarusian word needs a Latin-letter form for a system, file name, URL or reference.
Latin to Belarusian Cyrillic
Reverse conversion can help rebuild Cyrillic from Latin translit, but it may not always recover the exact original spelling. Belarusian letters such as ў, і, ы, е, ё, ю and я require careful review.
Belarusian romanization and Lacinka
Belarusian romanization and Lacinka are related but not identical concepts. Lacinka is a Latin-based writing tradition, while transliteration can also refer to technical or standardised letter conversion.
Belarusian names and documents
Names and place names may follow national or document-specific rules. Use this tool as a quick reference, not as a final authority for official spellings.
Belarusian transliteration for URLs
For URLs, choose a readable Latin form, lowercase it and use hyphens between words. Avoid mixing Lacinka, simplified transliteration and strict standards on the same website unless you have a clear reason.

Frequently asked questions
Is Belarusian transliteration the same as translation?
No. Transliteration changes Belarusian Cyrillic letters into Latin letters. Translation would change the language and meaning of the text.
What is Belarusian romanization?
Romanization is writing Belarusian words with Latin characters. It can be used for names, maps, catalogues, URLs and technical systems where Cyrillic is inconvenient.
What is Lacinka?
Lacinka is a Belarusian Latin-based writing tradition. It is related to Belarusian romanization, but it is not always identical with technical transliteration standards.
How is the Belarusian letter ў transliterated?
In simplified transliteration, ў is often rendered as u. Some systems may use other conventions, so check the required standard if the result is for official or scholarly use.
Can I use this for Belarusian names and documents?
Use the result as a reference only. Official documents may require a specific national or institutional spelling, especially for names and place names.
Can I convert Latin text back to Belarusian Cyrillic?
Yes, reverse conversion is available, but some Latin spellings can be ambiguous. Review the result manually, especially for е, ё, ю, я, і and ў.
Can Belarusian transliteration be used for URLs?
Yes. Transliteration can create readable Latin URL slugs from Belarusian titles. Use lowercase letters, hyphens and one consistent scheme across the site.
