https://translations.documentfoundation.org/et/libo34x_ui/ has
pootle-terminology.po at the root, but I don't remember ever seeing any
suggestions from there when working on 3.4, so I didn't even bother
generating it for 3.5. If setting up a Terminology project solves that, I'd
be glad if you set it up :)

Best regards,
