Spanish term or phrase: mtro. / mtra.
I've seen these titles left as is in many English documents. I'm translating bios about a few Mexican professors, should I leave these in Spanish?

Teacher/Professor
Explanation:
if it has an English equivalent, why not translate >either Teacher or Professor< depending on the level of school teaching and the school degree of the person at issue.
