+1 for Susan's comments. A multi-language GIS glossary (eventually) will be a real accomplishment for OSM.
A few other thoughts you may have already considered: I suggest maintaining either a LearnOSM glossary or the OSM wiki glossary, but not both. One can point to the other. Or, the LearnOSM glossary could be shorter, focused on beginners, and point to a more comprehensive OSM wiki glossary. OGC has a glossary [1] that's copyright OGC, but they might make it available to OSM on request. The wiki.gis.com glossary might be of use [2].
