Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
μετ’ οὐ πολὺ
after not much_‹time›
Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “after a short time”
Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate
ὁ καλούμενος Εὐρακύλων
¬which /being/_called /the/_Euraquilo
The term Euraklyon is a combination of the Greek word for the east wind and the Latin word for the north wind. Luke spells out the term using Greek letters so that his readers will know how it sounds. This seems to be the name that Luke heard the sailors give to this wind. In your translation, you could spell it the way it sounds in your language. You could also say what it means. Alternate translation: “called the Northeaster”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ καλούμενος
¬which /being/_called
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “that the sailors called”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

The pronoun it refers to the island of Crete. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the island of Crete”
27:14-16 The storm, called a “northeaster,” was of typhoon strength, very threatening to both the cargo and the crew. Forced to let the ship run before the gale, they sailed past a small island called Cauda (known today as Gaudos), south of Crete.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
