glossary
A list of words or technical terms with their explanations, relating to a specific text or subject area. A glossary is often found at the end of a book.
Wenn du einen Fachbegriff nicht verstehst, schau im Glossar am Ende des Buches nach.
If you don't understand a technical term, look it up in the glossary at the end of the book.
Typical actions are expressed with a Glossar (glossary). You can 'nachschlagen' (look up) terms in it, 'konsultieren' (consult) it, or 'erstellen' (create) one yourself for a new subject area.
Ich musste den Begriff im Glossar nachschlagen, um den Text zu verstehen.
I had to look up the term in the glossary to understand the text.
A Glossar (glossary) is usually located at the end of a book, often as part of the appendix. It serves as a quick reference for the reader.

You can find a list of all abbreviations in the glossary on page 250.
A Glossar (glossary) is always limited to a specific text or subject area. It explains only the terms that are necessary for understanding that particular context.

dictionary
A Wörterbuch and a Glossar both explain unfamiliar words or terms. A Wörterbuch covers the vocabulary of a language in general. A Glossar, by contrast, is limited to the terms in a particular text or subject area and is often found at the end of a book. For general language questions, use a Wörterbuch; for a specific text, use a Glossar.
Die Fachbegriffe aus dem Bericht werden im Glossar am Ende erklärt.
The technical terms from the report are explained in the glossary at the end.
Für die Bedeutung des unbekannten Wortes benutze ich ein Wörterbuch.
