This is the first note for Jeshurun in Deu. It's confusing.

Jeshurun
Moses speaks of the Israelites as if they were a well-fed animal whose owner named it Jeshurun. You may add a footnote that says, “The name ‘Jeshurun’ means ‘upright one.'” If your language cannot speak of the Israelites as Jeshurun, you may refer to the Israelites as many people, as the UDB does. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names)

The UDB does not replace "Jeshurun" with "many people". Rather the UDB translates Jeshurun as "The Israelite people" and paraphrases the metaphor "grew fat ... you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill" as "became rich and prosperous."
