Such a glossary would be very good, not only for ambiguous english terms, but 
in general. Developers, who often are not native english speakers and in need 
for a matching english term, so the other way round, could have a look there, 
too.
I would also help as reference for consistent naming in the ui, cmp. 
e.g. "folder" vs. "directory".

Do any translation teams use a glossary at all? I could not find a reference 
at l10n.kde.org.
