There is nothing impossible. :-)
I'm sure it's possible to maintain multi-language glossary of
common phrases which are treated unequivocally.
Furthermore, nothing prevents to create specialized (or extended)
glossary for some language (e.g. for mentioned cases when
one term's translation depends on context). So, we can create
and maintain the hierarchy of glossaries with a common root
and its specializations !
