Google and Yandex (the latter one is Russian alternative to Google) both translate "населенный пункт" as "locality". Although DeepL (which is German) translates it as "populated area". | |

The official term in English, used by Statistics Sweden, is, however, locality. There are 1,940 localities in Sweden. Wikipedia" | |
