LLMs are perfectly capable of translating between programming languages at this point. The main bottleneck for them is logic, not language.
And the amount of logic needed to understand code, including how to fix it or modify it further depends on how complicated the code-structure is.

I wonder about this: Does LLM write better code in a better language?

Humans often have more difficulty fixing existing code than reqriting it from scratch, and un-structured un-constrained code would be a big reason for that.

But maybe it doesn't apply to an LLM if it always rewrites all code from scratch?
