OET (OET-RV) Crete, and Arabia. Some are Jews and some are non-Jews who’ve converted to Judaism. And we can hear them talking about God in our languages.”
Ἰουδαῖοί τε καὶ προσήλυτοι
Jews both and converts
The term proselytes describes converts to the Jewish religion. The phrase both Jews and proselytes could apply specifically to the visitors from Rome mentioned at the end of the previous verse, or it could apply to the whole list of people in 2:9–11. Alternate translation: [both Jews and converts to the Jewish religion]
Note 1 topic: translate-names
Κρῆτες & Ἄραβες
Cretans & Arabs
These are names of two people groups.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ Θεοῦ
the great_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God
The speakers are using the adjective great as a noun. (The term is plural; ULT adds things to show this.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the great things that God has done]
2:5-11 Because Pentecost was a pilgrimage festival (see study note on 2:1-4), Jews from every nation were present in Jerusalem at that time and were thus able to hear the Good News being proclaimed in their own languages. The Good News is for all people (2:38-39).

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