UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτος

this_‹one›

This one here refers to Andrew, who was mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Andrew”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

εὑρίσκει & λέγει

/is/_finding & /is/_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Χριστός

which is /being/_translated /the/_Anointed|Christ

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “which means Christ”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Χριστός

which is /being/_translated /the/_Anointed|Christ

John assumes that his readers will know that he is saying what the title “Messiah” means when translated from the Aramaic language into Greek. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “which is ‘Christ’ in Greek” or “which is the Aramaic word for ‘Christ’”
