university initials

I have a quick question - if I were to refer to a foreign university by name and/or initials, would it sound better translated, and if so, would I change the order in the initials as well?

For example, Universidad Interamericana (UIA)

Would I say Interamerican University (IAU)?  Or is that trying too hard?

A friend is asking me to proof a dual-language program, but I wasn't sure about this one thing.  Thanks for the help!  It's for a thing in Puerto Rico, if that matters...
