Moses assumes that readers will know that city leaders conducted public business at the gate of the city. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to the place where the elders meet]

See how you translated the similar expression “will rise up upon the name of his brother who died” in the previous verse.

for,brother_of,his (Some words not found in UHB: and=if not want the=man to=take/accept/receive DOM wife_of,his_brother's and,she_will_go_up wife_of,his_brother's to,the,gate to/towards the,elders and,she_will_say refuses brother_of,my_husband's to,establish for,brother_of,his name_of in,Israel not willing to,act_as_a_husband's_brother_for_me )
Here, a name represents having sons who will continue a family line. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a son to continue his family line] or [descendants to carry on his family name]

not willing (Some words not found in UHB: and=if not want the=man to=take/accept/receive DOM wife_of,his_brother's and,she_will_go_up wife_of,his_brother's to,the,gate to/towards the,elders and,she_will_say refuses brother_of,my_husband's to,establish for,brother_of,his name_of in,Israel not willing to,act_as_a_husband's_brother_for_me )
See how you translated the related expression, “be her brother-in-law” in [verse 5](../25/05.md).
OET (OET-LV) And_if not he_will_desire the_man to_take/accept/receive DOM wife_of_his_brother’s and_she_will_go_up wife_of_his_brother’s to_the_gate to the_elders and_she_will_say he_has_refused brother_of_my_husband’s to_establish for_brother_of_his a_name in_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) not he_was_willing to_act_as_a_husband’s_brother_for_me.
OET (OET-RV) But if the dead man’s brother doesn’t want to marry the widow, she must go to the elders at the city gate and explain that her brother-in-law is refusing to do his duty to preserve the dead brother’s family name in Yisrael.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
