Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Is there anything about which it may be said, ‘Look, this is new’?
(Some words not found in UHB: is_there anything which,say see this new he/it already it_became in,ages which/who it_became from,to/for,before_of,us )
This rhetorical question is asked to emphasize that man cannot say there is anything new. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “There is nothing about which it may be said, ‘Look, this is new.’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) about which it may be said
(Some words not found in UHB: is_there anything which,say see this new he/it already it_became in,ages which/who it_became from,to/for,before_of,us )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “about which someone may say”
1:2-11 The Teacher begins by observing that each natural and historical activity is accentuated by its circular repetitive rhythm of coming and going, being and not being. This can lead to the despairing cry that everything is meaningless. The Teacher moves rapidly from subject to subject and finishes this section with the topic he started with, using a literary pattern that mirrors the circularity he describes in nature and in human history.

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.
