Hallo Sophie, everybody Rafaella pointed me to this thread by private mail, so I'll write a few notes a bit late in the thread. Pootle can assist translators with terminology (created yourself, downloaded from our Pootle server, exported from something like SunGloss, anything really). The only issue is that it only supports PO and XLIFF files at the moment. If we have TBX files or some other format, let us know, we can try to quickly write a simple converter with the Translate Toolkit which should be quite easy if we already support the format in another converter. The way in which Pootle works with terminology is explained here: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/terminology_matching (can somebody perhaps add a screenshot to this wiki page?) André already mentioned poterminology. This tool can help to extract frequently occurring terms (even multi-word terms) from your existing files to give you a great start when creating a new glossary, or to survey your existing translations: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/poterminology For people translating offline, our translation tool Virtaal offers very similar terminology help, although it is aimed even more at productivity. Here is a screenshot: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/screenshots#terminology_assistance I definitely have more ideas on how to improve this in future, so I hope the OOo translators will help with ideas and features to improve this even more.
