[libreoffice-l10n] Question on the Glossary list in Weblate for non-master versions

The Glossary list of Weblate can be a great tool: Adding terms to the glossary helps making 
consistent translations, both among translators and for a given translator (such as myself) over 
time.

However, the glossary seems to be only effective for the master version. For both LibreOffice UI 
and LibreOffice Help: If I look up a string in a non-master version, e.g. in version 24.8, then the 
window "Glossary" is seen on the screen, but not glossaries are shown, even if it string contains 
terms that had glossary defined as master. There is not even a button to add terms.

UI strings and Help strings are inherited across versions: If a string is translated in any 
version, it is automatically also applied to other versions (earlier or later) that use the same 
specific string.

So is there a reason why only master can see the glossary for master? And is there a reason why it 
does not seem to be possible to add glossary in earlier versions than master? If this on purpose as 
a useful feature (rather than being a bug) of Weblate, please educate me on its why and how!

Of course, for those languages who have everything translated already at "master" state, it is not 
a problem - all translation will take place in the master version. But not all translation projects 
are at that state. If versions in use (currently, 24.2 and 24.8) are not yet fully translated, it 
will make sense to prioritize strings from these versions over those strings only present in the 
upcoming versions (master).

Regards,
Lars
