-> "... to the end of the call"

Should translate to "no longer needed (see above)".

Not sure what to advise here...

The German sentence is incomplete.
I think the English translation should be something like: "To prevent 
the shell from [missing end of sentence] when a Basic error occurs 
during saving."

I don't understand the German comment.

The German source is an incomplete sentence, so it's hard to judge 
the translation.

Ah, so Google alto translates Denglisch to English. ;-)
I think the English translation should be something like: "Since the 
method can be called from outside (outside what?), [missing verb/end 
of sentence] [needs to? / should be?] again here."
