In my world project glossaries are built as the translation/editing go along, by the same people who did the first two steps. ▲ Collapse

Many thanks, Irina, you've helped me get the clear picture. I was trying to avoid the hourly rate, but it seems the only way to go.
And thank you to ELISSAA and Teresa,
