Hi Nina, 

yes, this is possible. We do this in our environment. We also merge all exported glossaries into one. So it is only needed to provide one glossary over all projects.

I am not sure if this is the best clean solution, but will share it nevertheless:

Fist, the macro that exports a glossary (and also a TMX file, we need both) of an active Passolo project. Add this to your Passolo installation

Sub main

  Dim prj As PslProject
  Set prj = PSL.ActiveProject
  If prj Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

  Dim lang As PslLanguage
  For Each lang In prj.Languages
    ' Create the translation bundle
    Dim bundle As PslTransBundle
    Set bundle = prj.PrepareTransBundle

    Dim trn As PslTransList
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To prj.TransLists.Count
      Set trn = prj.TransLists(i)
      If trn.Language Is lang Then
        bundle.AddTransList(trn)
      End If
    Next i

    ' Make filename "test<langcode>.tba/tbu"
    Dim filename As String
    filename = "<file path>" & prj.Name & "-" & lang.LangCode & ".glo"
    filename2 = "<file path>" & prj.Name & "-" & lang.LangCode & ".tmx"
    prj.Export "PASSOLO Glossary Maker", bundle, filename, expAllDeleted
    prj.Export "TMX Export", bundle, filename2, expAllDeleted
  Next lang
End Sub

I created a python script, that scans a folder for Passolo project files and calls the Macro for each project within a bat file:

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
import subprocess

lpufolder= "<path to your folder, where all Passolo projects are located>"

batfilepath="passolocommands.bat"
batfile = open(batfilepath, 'w+')

batfile.write("cd \"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Passolo\SDL Passolo 2018\"\n")

onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(lpufolder) if isfile(join(lpufolder, f))]

for lpu in onlyfiles:
     if lpu.endswith(".lpu"):
          print(lpu)
          batfile.write("pslcmd.exe "+lpufolder+"\\"+lpu+" /runmacro=<name of the macro bas file from above>.bas /quit\n")

subprocess.Popen('powershell.exe C:\Jenkins\workspace\i18n_passolo_buenergy_glossaries\passolocommands.bat')

Maybe this helps...

Stay save.

Thank you, this works fine ;)
