That is not how it works; the agent can search the code for chunks with matches, and it doesn’t ever load the entire thing into the context.

That’s a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, ain’t it?

I just checked [Calendar subscription URLs for external calendar apps](https://meta.discourse.org/t/calendar-subscription-urls-for-external-calendar-apps/398902) in PT-BR, and it’s looking like a great translation, much better than having nothing.

There will always be improvements to be done on an unsupervised machine translation workflow, and @nat has already made it better today thanks to your feedback!

No one expects it to be perfect, and Meta is a place where we can early adopt features and showcase what is possible in Discourse for our users and customers.
