We use Genetic Improvement (GI)-based Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques for syntax correction on transpiled code produced by both large language models (LLMs) and rule-based translators. LLM-assisted Type Change Operator and Boolean Value Change Operator were added to Magpie, which reduced transpilation bugs from Python to Java by 33% (LLM) and by 18% on rule-based translations.
