Then probably make up whatever names seem to work in a particular language
for teaching beginners (call a bishop a boiled egg for all it matters), and
when they become interested in the game at all, they will either ask what the
original names of the pieces are, or will hear someone call a bishop "kaku"
and just learn it. Even on a board like this...

names of the pieces after some time.
