Question:why Maple's MmaTranslator does not translate CubeRoot to surd?

I was translating some code from Mathematica to Maple. Why MmaTranslator does not know about Mathematica's CubeRoot function? This was added in 2012 (more than 11 years ago).

Is this known? How could one teach Maple's MmaTranslator to convert CubeRoot[x] to surd(x,3)? Is it possible to manually add missing translations to this package? Otherwise I would have to manually edit lots of code and do this myself each time.

 

restart; 
with(MmaTranslator);
FromMma(`CubeRoot[9]`);

Gives CubeRoot(9) it should be surd(9, 3)
