Is there a way to localize role labels?

Question

I'm using Justin Tadlock's Members plugin to create new roles and WP Role on Registration to display them on the registration form.

I've got a multilang site (English and Spanish) and I've localized my custom taxonomies using qTranslate.

I can't use qTranslate's quicktags in the Role Label field on the Member's plugin because it doesn't save it properly (even with $new_role_label = strip_tags( $_POST['role-label'] ); commented out on role-new.php) and I can't go into the database to make the changes there because then it breaks.

I've seen very scarce info about the WP function translate_user_role but I'm not sure it. There's not much else to go on.
