UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לֵ֣ב חָ֭כָם יַשְׂכִּ֣יל פִּ֑י⁠הוּ וְ⁠עַל־שְׂ֝פָתָ֗י⁠ו יֹסִ֥יף לֶֽקַח

heart wise instructs mouth,his and,to lips,his adds persuasiveness

The heart of the wise, his, and it here refer to these things and people in general, not a specific heart or wise person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “The hearts of wise people make their mouths insightful, and on their lips they increase learning”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לֵ֣ב

heart

See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְׂ֝פָתָ֗י⁠ו

lips,his

See how you translated the same use of mouth in 10:11 and lips in 10:18.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יֹסִ֥יף לֶֽקַח

adds persuasiveness

Here Solomon implies that what the wise says increases learning of other people who hear what the wise say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “it increases what other people learn”
