制 without its traditional character means system

Editor: What does "制 without its traditional character" mean?
I can only make sense of the comment if it means "As a traditional character, 制 means 'system'."
But 制 has several senses, only one of which is "system". See, for example, https://www.moedict.tw/~%E5%88%B6
Even if 制 is taken to mean "system", why would that imply that 調制 is incorrect as a traditional form meaning "modulate"?

调制 has two traditional forms: 調製 and 調制.
So Google Translate is not wrong to give 調製 as a traditional form for 调制.
However, references by and large agree that 調制 is recommended for the "modulate" sense, and 調製 means "to concoct".

e.g. 調製 = 調配各種材料,製成食物。
