You would need to ask the KDE and GNOME projects, but my understanding is that each project has its own licence - although most use the GPL.
2. If each project has their own license for their L10n works, how can I handle those if I want to collect them and reproduce something using them. I'm making a glossary using many L10n works from many projects.
You may end up finding that this is not possible. It depends on which sources you use, and the licenses attached to them.
3. Can I publish and share my glossary under GPL? If I can, which version should I use, v3.0 or v2.0? There are several licenses, for GNOME, KDE and GIMP are GPL, LGPL for OpenOffice, Firefox has MPL and BSD for Launchpad.
Firefox and Mozilla code, including the Korean translation, is available under your choice of three licences - the MPL, the LGPL or the GPL. So if you are looking to make your glossary GPLed, then you can include information gained from Firefox.
However, you would have to consider the possibility that your glossary could only be _used_ by GPLed projects in the case, because use of it might make the target translation a derivative work of the glossary.
