So the glossary will be used as a translation memory, then?

It's important for us to know, in part because there are some verbs to
translate and if this file is just a reference or a glossary, then we'd
translate them as infinitives (i.e. "to open" instead of "open"),
otherwise (ie. if it is a translation memory) we'd keep the imperative
form as in English.
