Names (personal, company)
Russian term or phrase: пгт Владетельное
ссылок на топоним практически нет. Хотя в тексте на русском, транслитерировать надо с украинского (Донецкая область), а как он при этом будет звучать могу только догадываться

Большое спасибо за помощь!
(Вопрос задаю в русско-английской паре, если сочтете нужным, можно перенести в украинскую)

Explanation:
See Discussion and Angela's link http://www.profosvita.org.ua/ru/centers/6/index.html in two languages.
For consistency, I think it's better to transliterate all proper names from their official (i.e. Ukrainian) variant, even where it's seldom used by the locals.

Vladetelnoye (settlement)


Explanation:
I would leave out пгт altogether if possible, but if you have to put something, just call it "settlement" ("urban-type settlement" doesn't sound natural English).

agree  Yuliya UA: For transliteration from the language of the original! :) That's definitely the most sensible thing to do.

  -> Спасибо, Юлия! Тем более, что, как оказалось, и местные русскозычные жители называют этот поселок на украинский лад, а про "русский" вариант и не слышали. ))
