Having to delete unnecessary terminology strings is indeed annoying. IMO 
adding glossary entries to other languages should not be enabled by 
default. I opened an issue on Weblate's Github earlier:

If TDF is going to fund improvements to Weblate again (I hope so!), this 
could be one candidate.

Tuomas
