Automatic translation returns the wrong language

Reproduction Steps
You could reproduce this by adding the string “Buy {number1} for ${number2}” to a games localization table and asking it to auto translate it into Indonesian.

Expected Behavior
I would expect the string to be translated into Indonesian, and that is what would happen if things were working correctly. But they are not working correctly, and the string gets translated into Spanish which is not Indonesian.

Actual Behavior
Automatic translation translated a string into Spanish when the target language is Indonesian. I haven’t checked every string but “Buy {number1} for ${number2}e+{number3}” also translates into Spanish. I tried deleting the entry and seeing if it corrects itself, but it gives me more Spanish. Most other strings are correctly translated into Indonesian.

Workaround
Workaround would be to not use this feature and add in translations manually
