AFAIK, there are two ways to have Terminology: per project and generic 
(for all projects in the language). Project's terminology files can be 
generated automatically, in the "Translate" tab of that project. 
Project-independent terminology files are stored in the Terminology project.

It looks like you already have a terminology file in libo35x_ui project. 
I have no idea why the suggestions wouldn't pop up, though I have a 
slight suspicion that it could be because of some context or comment 
lines in that file, but that's just a wild guess. Maybe Friedel or 
Dwayne could have more insight into this.

OTOH, you can choose to use project-independent Terminology, which I 
think makes more sense for our case, since we're only working on LibO 
and related projects, and major version upgrades are treated as separate 
projects. If you choose to employ that, you just have to have a 
Terminology project in your language, and you upload files to it. Then 
suggestions will be made from the contents of those files. Greenlandic, 
while has the Terminology project, doesn't have any files in it.

What you can probably do is download the pootle-terminology.po file from 
libo35x_ui project, clean it up (remove unnecessary strings, contexts 
and comments, check spelling etc.), rename it and upload it to your 
Terminology project. That might help. No warranties though...

Estonian doesn't have the Terminology project, and doesn't have a 
pootle-terminology.po file in the root folder of libo35x_ui either, so 
no wonder. Mihkel, if you want, I can bootstrap an empty Terminology 
project for you, so that you could upload your terminology file(s) to it.
