Explanation:
not sure that you need to translate them -

I mean, for example, the very un-English sounding "Eur Ing" is used for the qualification of a European Engineer -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Engineer

and if not left in the orig., it could be just "Engineer Lieutenant Colonel"; but I think the initials as they are are prob. OK

sorry, I meant abbreviations rather than initials - abbreviations if before the name, otherwise words in brackets after the name
