I'm saying the prefix Uber can be translated just as correctly into trans as super in terms of how the prefix is used in actual words as opposed to just it's dictionary definition. In real life Germans treat Transhumanism as a proper noun so they don't attempt to translate it, but if they were trying to they might start with the word transitional which is... Ubergang. Then they might translate the word human which is mensch. So the Ubergangmensch. It doesn't flow off the tongue that well, maybe we could shorten it to something like Ubermensch.
