The Greek that is translated as “exalted him” in English is translated in Kahua as “made his name sound big.”
widows
For the Greek that is translated as “unmarried” in English, Bawm Chin has one word that applies to both sexes, but for the Greek that is translated as “widows” (and could include both sexes) it uses one for each sex. (Source: David Clark)
The translation into Papiamento also uses separate words for “widower” (biudo) and “widow” (biuda). (Source: Marlon Winedt)

Day of the Lord
The Hebrew and Greek that is translated in many English versions as “Day of the Lord” was rendered in Bengali as “Day of Judgement” in order to avoid confusion with the Lord’s day in the sense of Sunday.
father's wife
The Greek phrase that is typically translated as “father’s wife” and is understood as “stepmother” had to specifically be clarified in Bawm Chin as “stepmother.”
angel's voice vs. God's voice
In the translation into Kahua, it needs to be specified whose voice is mentioned in Acts 10:13 and 15. Many commentaries assume it is God’s voice but it could also be the angel as in verse 3, since God is referred to in the third person in verse 15. The translators decided for God’s voice.
dual vs. plural (Acts 7:16)
In this episode in Acts it is ambiguous whether only Jacob and Joseph or Jacob and all of the other patriarchs were were taken back to Shechem. In languages that distinguish between a dual and a plural this ambiguity has to be resolved. In the translation into Kahua only two bodies were taken back because Joseph’s body is specifically mentioned in Exod 13:19 and Josh 24:32.
dual vs. plural (Acts 4:18)
In this story in Acts three men are mentioned (Peter, John and the healed man — see Acts 4:14). When in verse 15 the men were ordered to leave the council, presumably all three are asked to leave. But how many are being recalled in verse 18? Languages that distinguish between dual and plural verb forms need to make a decision whether the healed man is included. The translation into Fuyug includes the healed man since he is mentioned again in verse 22.
were not told (passive)
In Iu Mien the translation for the Greek that is translated into English as “those who were not told” must be restructured to avoid a passive verb, as a passive would imply that being evangelized is an unpleasant experience.
