People asked to translate the States, because they had a use case, but it's a minority. But other people also had issues on addresses because states were translated. Translated fields can introduce mistakes. Example: if I send a letter to: "Virginie-Occidentale", will United States postal services understand that they actually have to send to "West-Virginia"? That's an easy one, but there are more tricky ones. Translations induce a lot of mismatch when people duplicate or edit. Suppose a user edit "New-York" state and rename into "Californie" because they do a mistake while changing the address of a partner the same customer might receive it's letter in New-York or California, depending on the language. Having states being translated might lead to more issues, than not translated.
