Each translation team needs to decide how they are going to write large numbers in the Bible. Many teams use numerals, for example, 130 here in verse 3, especially if the target language has a complicated counting system. Other teams prefer to use words, for example, “one hundred thirty” here. Be consistent in what you do throughout your translation. Alternate translation: “When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son” or “When Adam was 130 years old, he fathered a son”

in=his/its=resemblance/likeness according_to=his/its=illusion/resemblance
These two phrases have similar meanings and emphasize that Seth was similar to Adam in many ways. See how you translated similar phrases in Gen 1:26. Alternate translation: “who was a human being like himself and looked like him,”
וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ שֵֽׁת
and=he/it_called DOM his/its=name Shet/Shēt
For some languages it is more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and Adam named him Seth.” or “Adam named his son Seth.”
5:3 just like him—in his very image: The image and likeness of God (see note on 1:26) is preserved in human beings despite sin. Adam’s sinful nature was also carried forward (Rom 5:12-14).

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.
