Hi

When using Pootle for translating LO, there's an 
auto-generated terminology file [*], which can then be 
edited for each language.
Some language-teams/individual translators make heavy use of 
this feature. Most really active translators create their 
own databases/translation memories along with several 
glossaries, this can be generated on-the-fly with some of 
the translation software.

I guess the Pootle file is auto-generated from all the 
UI/Help-PO's, it has all kinds of translation matches - both 
useful ones as well as more trivial stuff.

I'd say that if there is a terminology file with core 
terms/expressions for the UI (in english), it could be 
really helpful - also for developers.

Just some thoughts...
