3rd Year = Senior (No idea how they get this right if they call a 1st Year a freshman but they do for some reason.)
Beg your pardon, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sophomore and freshman for first year is also the correct term.

Just use first, second, third year student instead of these terms.

I could be wrong though because I personally have never attempted to fix such an issue as I myself never noticed when I was actively fansubbing.
I've had good experience with using UTF-8 supported font to display east-asian characters and special symbols in softsubs on computers that have no east-asian language support.
