You're already reading a translation. You're already reading a fundamentally different work
I agree that it's good to try to understand things that are foreign to you but if that's too difficult then do whatever works best for you it's not a big deal
What tge person in the post there is doing isn't working. Replacing the names in a way that still provides the same context(which is your proposal) would need you to understand exactly why each name is used each time, it is more exhausting than just learning the names. The translation also left the names in place, they didn't try to translate it, because that is a ludicrous idea. I am not sure it is possible.
We don't think thats working either for the guy in the post
Yeah, I spent too many words to say "This is a bad idea, don't do it" tbh
