I was reading some documentation and it seems that chunks of <code></code> should not be wrapped with tvars. Am I missing something?

I believe this works only when the component itself is outside the translate wrappers. Putting a static variable inside translate wrappers (without a tvar) gives translators a hint that it needs translation. For example, I could write کوڈ for code, which the system won't identify, thus breaking the entire schema of the page.
