Lines 7 to 9 in ceff4ea

\indextext{translation!separate|see{compilation, separate}}
\indextext{separate translation|see{compilation, separate}}
\indextext{separate compilation|see{compilation, separate}}

Is this indexed as intended? I find it strange that all these entries would redirect to compilation, separate.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Do we even want to mention compilation here? After all, compilation isn't really the conventional wording we use here.

I'd be ok with having all of these refer to "translation, phases"

Having commonly used terms (such as "separate compilation") in the index seems worthwhile even if it's not a normative term.

Also related to #5641. The index seemingly implies that the standard treats compilation same as translation, but it's unclear to me whether this is intended.

Yes, the standard calls "translation" what the rest of the world might call "compilation", so we should mention "compilation" in the index.
