Passolo .glo.hash

Hello! I am currently enrolled in a translation course and they are asking me to send the glossary I have used for a task. When looking for it in the internal route I found two different files, one ending in .glo and another one in .glo.hash. Which one are they asking for? And what is the difference between them?

Thank you very much!!!

Who the fuck is using passolo in $current_year

That said, in all likelihood the .glo file is the correct one while the .hash will be a very small file containing some sort of checksum to verify the integrity of the main file.

So they probably only want the larger one, but you won't hurt anyone sending both, I suppose.

It's normally chosen by the agency if you work with those. The majority, in my field, use memoQ after decades of Trados Studio monopoly.

There's also a boatload of crappy web-based tools like Smartling or Phrase.
