Maybe they really do not care, and simply translate the names they hear
from their spys? It would only lead to confusion if the Cardassians says
"cardas 1" and the Klingon spy names it "cardas 3" or so.
It would be like translating "Windows 10" as {Qorwagh Soch} (or so
whatever the real counting might be).
