OET (OET-LV) And the Pilatos wrote also a_title, and put on the stake.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔγραψεν & καὶ τίτλον ὁ Πειλᾶτος, καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ
wrote & also /a/_title ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔγραψεν δὲ καὶ τίτλον ὁ Πιλᾶτος καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ ἦν δὲ γεγραμμένον Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων)
John uses Pilate to imply that Pilate ordered his soldiers to write the title and put it on the cross. Pilate probably would not have done this himself. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [Pilate also commanded his soldiers to write a title on a sign and put it on the cross]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐπὶ τοῦ σταυροῦ
on the cross
Here, the cross refers specifically to the cross on which Jesus was crucified. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [on the cross they used to crucify Jesus]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἦν & γεγραμμένον, Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος, ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
˱it˲_was & /having_been/_written Jesus the Nazarene the King ˱of˲_the Jews
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: [that person wrote on it these words: Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews]
19:19-22 Pilate posted a sign on the cross: It was customary for the Roman soldiers to provide a written public notice of the criminal’s name and crimes. Perhaps as a final act of revenge against the Jewish high council, Pilate ordered that the sign should identify Jesus of Nazareth as the King of the Jews. Jesus’ kingship was posted in three languages for the whole world to understand.

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.
