Some of the としたところで/としたって examples follow 〜た form verbs but this isn’t explained anywhere on the page. It would be nice to have this clarified.

Can にしたところで/にしたって also follow verbs as well?

Hi! The translation of one of the examples seems a bit off:

謝ったとしたって、社長は彼のことを許さないだろう。

Even if I apologized, he would probably not forgive him.

社長 is translated as „him“ and I feel like it would make more sense to translate it as something like „Even if he apologized, the manager would probably not forgive him.“

Please correct me if I’m wrong!
