When you're willing to try another tool: CafeTran's native glossary format is tab-delimited: you can use your list right away.
It also allows source-side and target-side alternatives:
ACRONYM;long form source TAB ACRONYM;long form target
That way, you can keep together what belongs together. During translation, you can easily switch between automatic insertion of the alternative target via the right mouse button: so you can choose to have the acronym translated as acronym or as a long form. Once or in the whole project.
A similar regex would be needed to prep the glossary.
I've recorded a short video to demonstrate this: [url removed]
