I believe this framing is a bit over-simplified.This description presumes that the Human does indeed have the entire solution in their head, and the only problem is expressing it in a language. In reality, Human only understand a fraction of the necessary solution (maybe even a fraction of the full problem!) when they begin to program the solution. A big part of the iteration is discovering things the Human did not know about the problem or the necessary solution. Eventually we converge on A solution, which may not look very much like the originally envisioned solution at all. So no, I do not think the LLM is functioning as a transpiler for english. I think its a tool providing feedback in a necessary iterative cycle or discovery and development. The iteration itself is the "transpiler for english", in a crude way.
