Why is it translated as "spirit" rather than "mind"?

Because Geist has no exact translation in English and can be translated as either mind or Spirit.

How could it be?

I know, but wouldn't "mind" be much more fitting? Didn't read much Hegel I must admit. (Also it was funny how Stirner was taking the piss out of Geist also meaning "ghost", thus birthing the "spook" meme.)

Spirit is the most complete form of consciousness. It's a step beyond mind, for Hegel.
Spirit coming to know itself is a more complete process than Mind coming to know itself, since when Mind knows itself it is Spirit, and when Spirit knows itself it is God.

I've not read much Hegel either, but I think Spirit means more than mind since the latter tends to refer to individual minds while Spirit suggests a Becoming (how the mind, in a certain age and thanks to the previous ages, became what it is). Although some did translate it as Mind, but I think that, at least today, we associate Mind with the present situation of mind (as in what a human mind can think if it is properly formed and possess language) rather than the modifications it suffered throughout history thanks to the passing down and changing of knowledge.

No, it's philosophy. It can't be literature.
