The only ranks I see that could potentially have some issues are:
Ketuwong
Numeyu
'Eylan
Nawmtu
Karyu
Lekye'ung
So its really only 6 ranks. If someone wants to know what their rank means, they can look it up on a thread or the navi dictionary in a few seconds. If anything, it encourages people to learn Navi. Putting the English translations would take some of the "fun" out of the post ranks.

You also have to remember the horde of people who either have no interest in speaking Na'vi or don't have the time. Not everyone wants to run a definition search to understand what they "are" in a forum.
and making the assumption that the "majority" of posters know what something means is also a fault. Assumptions are almost always wrong, same with generalizations. If your building anything with a flow of people your going to want to focus on the weakest link, if someone who hasn't seen it much and doesn't know much can't understand it, it isn't their fault, its the people who built the site's assuming everyone knows something.
