Hi Olle, Good to hear from you, hope you've been well. We are aware of this issue and are actively working on providing a more stable WAI Glossary. However, WCAG 2.0 and several other documents that we are currently listing as priorities for translation [1] have their own glossaries. There should be no policy issues for the Swedish WCAG 2.0 Authorized Translation. Let me know if you are encountering issues with translations for other WAI documents.
