OK

I'm doing a glossary for a text, an English-Polish one.
I want to translate "fuel", but I am interested only in one meaning of this word (the one which appears in the text.)
Here comes my problem. I don't know how to indicate that I am talking only about this particular meaning.

At first I thought I could write:

fuel - here: podsycac

Yes, you can say eg
Here, the word 'bear' means 'carry'.

Thanks, Clive!

Hotmalefuel - here: podsycac

That is enough as a note. If you are trying to fit it into a specific text, you will need to post that text so that we can check your punctuation.

If you are writing for a Polish-speaking audience, it seems to me that everything after fuel would be in Polish, thus:

fuel - [Polish for 'here']: [Polish for 'fuel' (in the intended sense)]
