Glossary and Index are automatically generated from source. You don't
need to make it by hand.

However, I'm having some trouble to generate the glossary in my language
(asturian), possibly due to installing, uninstalling and poor knowledge
of TeX Live. It looks like some font or character in my language is
preventing to properly generate it. Perhaps such thing is happening with
greek characters?

Last (but not least) CC License may have serious legal issues if it's
just translated without checking against local laws. Our team was always
letting it untranslated to avoid such kind issues. By the way, now we
have a translation made by a local group of law experts, and we'll use
it in the Manual for the first time ever :)

Kind regards
