I noticed that my changelog has automated translations based on earlier translations. I’m OK with this, however, as you can see on https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/autodescription/ changelog/, the class names I describe between backticks are also translated. This might cause fatal errors or just plain confusion 🙁 My request is the following: Could it be so that code doesn’t get auto-translated, or more specific, inline code 🙂 Thanks 🙂 [#request](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/tag/request/), [#suggestion](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/tag/suggestion/) ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=threads) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=bluesky) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=x) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=mastodon) * [ WhatsApp ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fpolyglots%2F2015%2F12%2F07%2Fhi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) * [To-do](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2015/12/07/hi-i-noticed-that-my-changelog-has-automated/?output_format=md#) 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8a68c8e0b8b9d1f11aa1744b34a31930327e32f9e865c147592bc8f44bb499d7? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2.
