My experience leads me to believe that they SHOULD be translated because
there seem to be a lot of divers who aren't familiar with the English
terms and English abbreviations.
Having them as translatable strings gives the translator the freedom
to do as he please. I.e. I have just copied over some of the terms and
translated those that I have good terms in Finnish. I have to admit
that it was a problem before I realized that I can do just that.
Anyway, I am quite certain that in some languages it makes sense to
translate them and in some others it does not.
Hi:
In Portugal, we tend to use the english abbreviations for MOD, EAD, etc.
(although, as Pablo mentioned for Spanish, I've seen some translations
for some of the terms).
I agree with the rest: leave them as translatable strings...
Cheers:
Pedro
