(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those not king in,Israel (a)_man the,right in,eyes_of,his did )
The author is using the term days to refer to a specific time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [At that time]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אִ֛ישׁ
(a)_man
Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [Each person]

הַיָּשָׁ֥ר בְּעֵינָ֖יו
(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those not king in,Israel (a)_man the,right in,eyes_of,his did )
The author is using the adjective right as a noun to mean what a person considers to be right. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [what he thought was right]

הַיָּשָׁ֥ר בְּעֵינָ֖יו
(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those not king in,Israel (a)_man the,right in,eyes_of,his did )
As the Introduction to Judges discusses, here the author is using the common expression of his culture, in the eyes of, to mean “in the judgment of” or “in the opinion of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what he thought was right]

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.
