As a French native, I agree with you explanation; still, reading "he" for Claude Code was quite disturbing!

What doesn't help also is that translation tools/AI models will naturally translate "il" after "Claude Code" to "he" since Claude is an actual person name.

Using "AI model" instead is translated to "it" by all tools/AI models I tried.

That makes sense, thanks. English is my only language so I hadn't considered that
