When it comes to controlling the flow of human thought, we set the expectations. A poster has several resources to find this information. If he wants to know he can ask very quick or look it up in 15 seconds in the FAQ/post change thread or just google the term. If a person has no interest in learning about what his rank means then he or she doesn't have to.

function decision takes (person, rank, interest, laziness) returns (translation)
{
if (interest > laziness)
{translation = person.lookup(rank)}
else
{}
}

The amount of laziness varies from time to time but in general, it is rather low. Besides there is something to be said of the satisfaction of learning something yourself.

Also, seeing the English translation everytime would become rather mundane or even annoying. It takes fifteen seconds to look it up; you will spend hours if not days of your life looking at those words. Do you really want to see a redundant copy of them in a different lanugage every single time for multiple times on every page of every thread and profile?
