The article explores the features of language localization of Ukrainian archaic, dialectal, or rarely used lexical units in English interpretation of a series “There Will Be People” (in Ukrainian, “І будуть люди”). The study examines the implementation of outdated vocabulary in the series, its translation, usage in the past and modern-day functioning. The analysed units are divided into 5 groups representing the Ukrainian archaic vocabulary, historicisms, vernacularisms, colloquial expressions, and curse words. Apart from this, the article highlights the peculiarities concerning the Ukrainian phonetic system and cases of inaccurate translation of some semantic units. The study suggests more suitable translation variations for particular terms. It discusses the importance of language localization of obsolete and dialectal vocabulary. The results can be used for the study of Ukrainian history & language, linguacultural research, and further analysis of the Ukrainian outdated vocabulary.
