If you mean that some of the technical terms have no equivalent in
the target language, then I would presume that those terms are not
being translated in the body of the manual either. So list the terms
in the glossary the same way they appear in the body of the manual
and then translate their definitions.

Is there any particular reason why a translated user manual for a communications product would not include the tech specs appendix and the glossary?

I ask because both, especially the tech specs, are full of terms that cannot be translated. So I am unsure of the value.
